so three and a half weeks later and i'm finally getting around to uploading these pics.
nothing too special, some blurry iPhone pics but GOSH special to me!
everyone says that this is the best hug ever, and it was at the time.. but they keep getting better.
TWO YEARS!?!? Thats all I can keep saying to myself.
waiting for a missionary (so weird that i'm saying that past-tense) was hard, exhausting, confusing, sad, lonely, frustrating, but beside all that it was so rewarding and sincerely brought joy at so many times. I wouldn't trade these past two years for ANYTHING. I truly know I had a chance to grow and to find myself, and two years of love letters?? I mean, who gets that!? ;) basically i've felt every emotion from the sinking titanic to it's a small world at Disneyland and everything in between and how could i not consider that a blessing of a growing experience? easy to say now though, HE'S HOME.
and it's like he never left.

Is this outfit ok, simple enough but still cute? I don't want to over do it. Is this shirt too cheesy? He remembers i'm corny... right? Whatever who cares I can't think straight anyway.
