I have officially lived through
2 months without the love of my life. (Technically it was 2 months 4 days ago..) So I have lived
2 months and 4 days without him :) I feel like I've really learned a lot these past two months, and my testimony has been strengthened beyond belief. Remember how I had a list of goals for last month? I accomplished probably 3/4 of them :) I finished D&C, I sent a letter every week and a Dear Elder everyday, I baked something new once a week, saw Never Say Never again, decided what job I want over the summer, blogged once a week and tried a new food :) (it was cuban food, super yummy!) The ones I didn't accomplish were: I didn't complete 10 volunteer hours (I only completed 4) I didn't work out three days a week, and I didn't watch Titanic... Although I did see Titanic the Musical :)
This month was easier but also still very hard. It seems to have gone by slower than the first month, but I know it'll speed up :)
This month I have received:
- 4 letters
- 2 memory cards (videos!!)
- 1 cassette
- and 4 personal emails along with the family email :)
I feel extremely lucky being able to get the stuff that I've been getting. I know some girls don't get near that much. I know that once he actually leaves for Hungary (in 12 days) the mail will probably get a little slower. But I seriously cannot WAIT until the call from the airport! I am counting down the days :) Probably because I've decided to do something this fall that involves leaving Utah and I haven't told Preston anything about it yet. So that's one of the main reasons I can't wait for the phone call :) But overall, this month has been really good :) I want to thank ALLLLLLL the MG's who talk to me on a daily basis to make this whole process 100x's easier. I really have come to love you girls :) You are all amazing and you mean more to me than you know. You guys are always there for me and always help pick me up when I'm feeling down. I really couldn't be doing this without you :) In conclusion, this is what 2 months down looks like:
Eh, I'm getting there :)
I love you Elder Wright <3 <3 <3
You didnt complete the goals that actually mattered. Pethetic. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing Desiree! It took me a year after Eric being gone to really feel like my testimony had been strengthened. Of course, I didn't really try until then.
ReplyDeleteHey Desiree! I found your blog from a mutual friend who I also follow and wanted to introduce myself so I can not feel so odd stalking to you ;)
ReplyDeleteTwo months down-you go girlie! :D it definitely is an amazing feeling when you get another month down! Cute chart by the way! :)
kendahl :D
@ Paris, finishing D&C is a good accomplishment :) watching Titanic and working out aren't more important than that. Also trying a new food and baking new foods are good too. Also deciding what job I wanted was important. So I'm pretty sure you are wrong missy :)
ReplyDelete@ Alix Thank you :) You are seriously one of my inspirations because you've made it sooooo far and you always seem to start so strong. I think it's really amazing :)
WOOHOO! It seems like just yesterday he just left. You can do this!
