Hahaha thanks :) I'm still going through that obsessive stage where he's still everything I think about :) But k, I have a question. When you get letters from your missionary, are they nice and personal and do you just love them? Cuz the first letter i got from Preston was basically the exact same wording from his general email to everybody.. And it didn't feel like he was talking to me. And i don't know if i should just expect that... Or if i should ask him to write differently? I don't know... :/
Wait letter or email? Adam and I used to be able to e-mail each other and then they changed the rules for a ton of missions and now he is only able to e-mail his family and they forward it to me. It was really really hard at first because he never talked to me in them (and during this time I hadn't gotten a letter for over a month). But I just tried to be positive about it! Now almost every e-mail I send him a code word so that he can talk to me in the e-mail without saying lovey dovey stuff. I think that that might be the reason they are so serious in their e-mails but I'm not sure. I recently just asked Adam about it! AHHAAHAH because it does get hard sometimes, especially when something really horrible or really wonderful happens and you want to hear their response immediately because they're your best friend. In letters Adam has always been very cute and personal. And that's when I get the "love juice". Some letters are more "professional" then others. I try really hard to get involved with his companions and the investigators he has. That way I can feel like we are having a conversation rather than him just talking AT me. It's also a lot of fun to do questions because that feels much more like a conversation too. Like what is your favorite thing about being on a mission? What's the hardest? And little stuff like that. How was your tape though?! Was he better on that then in the letter?
Ya see Preston told me he was gonna send an email to his mom to forward to just me. But he didn't. I'm sure it's just cuz he was busy. And k the tape was almost worse than the letter.. He recorded himself talking 4 different days and it just felt like i was listening to a journal entry.. I mean, at least he said "I love you" in the letter. But in the tape... Nothing. Maybe it's just cuz it's the first week. Ah this gets frustrating sometimes.
Really? That's surprising! I don't know him all that well but maybe he is trying to not think about it? It makes it harder or something? Did he say that he's having a hard time?
I came across your blog when I was looking for comforting songs. My missionary has been out for a year and 2 months. He comes home soon but I'm going crazy. Your profile is adorable and inspiring. We have a song called My Letter by 10th concessions. You need to listen to it. I know you'd love it! Good Luck with everything. Being a missionary girlfriend is the best right. :)
This is the cutest thing ever! I felt like I was at your guy's wedding watching. AHAHHAAHAHA
