So it took me until about 10am to realize what today is...
It's nothing toooooo major. Just the handsome Elder's 15 month mark.
What the Wha??? He's really been gone 15 months??? Sometimes it feels like its been an eternity.
Other times, it feels like it was only a few months ago.
Either way. I am beyond ready for him to come home.
Too bad he's already started the "OH MY GOSH I'M GOING TO BE HOME IN blank MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT READY TO GO HOME!!!" stage.
Well actually....maybe he's gone back to normal missionary mode. I'm not sure. I haven't heard from him since September... Dang Mexican postal service.
Sorry if this sounds kind of complainy-ish and whiney... It hasn't been the greatest past few weeks! Waiting is just...hard. And I am sick of it. I just want to be done. I just want him home. I'm sick of never ever hearing from him, but yet he gets to hear from me every week. I'm sick of every where I turn, there's a guy that reminds me of him. And it takes everything in me to hold in the heartache and the tears. Its hard having people he is teaching right now adding him on facebook and then I'm secretly jealous of them because they get to see him all. the. time. I hope they know how lucky they are.
I dream about him almost every single night. Waking up the last few weeks has felt like I just said goodbye to him all over again. I am just one big walking heartache.
But here is a super cute picture of the boy that makes the heartache worth it.
oh my goodness 15 months down!!!! woohoo!!!! ya that's crazy :) Ya I'm almost at 16 months so I totally understand what you are feeling! some days it feels like its been like a month but others I feel like its been FOREVER!!!! But its getting closer to him almost being home! And you know what 15 months means???? SINGLE DIGIT MONTHS TO GO!!! :) WOOHOO!!
