The Best Two Years?

Wow, 6 days! I can't wait. It has been really hard to focus for about 8 months now, but this last week has been extra hard! Surprisingly the last month has flown by, even this last week has been going by fast. In 4 days I write my last email to Elder Kelsey, what a good feeling! I need him here with me. He is ready to come home ha I think we are both having a hard time being separated. We have had a hard time for the whole 2 years but the last few weeks have been rough. I just feel like he is close enough, he should be here! But he's still not here, I'm just anxious to see him. I don't know if I could say that it was the best two years for me, it has been pretty hard being without him, not something I want to go through again, But I do think that these two years have been an essential part of both of our spiritual growth. It was an essential part of our relationship, being separated. We have grown in different ways spiritually, but I can say that I truly learned how to lean on my Savior and trust in his plan. And as far as our relationship goes, I love him more than ever, and I think we both will be able to cherish the moments that we do get to spend together more than if he never had to leave. Every day I thank Heavenly Father that Klay was put into my path. He puts the people that we need in our lives, and I'm so grateful that Klay is such an essential part of mine. 6 days!

Almost Done

Can you believe it's almost over? This 2 year journey? 75 days and I'm getting nervous. haha there are so many things that have gone through my head thinking about when he comes back. For one. I don't even know what I'm going to do when i see him. Before I see him I will be FREAKING OUT. Honestly, we will probably both bawl our eyes out. haha I like to tell myself I'm not going to cry...but let's be honest, it's inevitable. Second, I am nervous about the first month that he will be back, because I will still be living in Ogden and he will be in Logan, and I'll want to be with him every day! haha It's only an hour away so we will both do our fair share of driving back and forth, and at least we can call each other or skype, but I don't know...it just stresses me out. Third, Klay has taken his mission very serious...which is wonderful, not a bad thing. But...he's gonna be really weird. haha I think it is going to take him a while to snap out of missionary mode. However, more than I am nervous about all of that, I am so excited. I can't even express it in words, but I just want him back! To hold his hand and cuddle on the couch and have tickle fights, oh i can't wait for him to make me laugh again! It's going to be perfect, and these last 75 days are going to kill me, but it's going to be so worth it! In other news...my christmas/new years presents! Klay asked his mom to go get me some things with his money for Christmas, and he had his companion Elder Lippold bring some things home to give me. I met elder lippold on new years eve and he gave me the best package I have ever received. It had multiple letters, his first mission journal, a bufanda (scarf), a painting, a soccer jersey, and a scarf thing that the women there use to carry their babies in. I love him. I am the luckiest girl alive.
