I never really believed that this day would actually come, but it has arrived. Joe is a missionary and he's leaving early tomorrow morning for Utah! I actually got to see him tonight after he was set apart as a missionary, which I had thought would be weird, but in reality it wasn't that weird. It actually calmed me quite a bit. He tried to shake my hand, but I refused. Anything less than a hug just isn't worth the trouble!! I'm feeling okay right now, but I'm worried about trying to go to sleep. When left to my own thoughts who KNOWS what could happen. Anyway, I would really appreciate all your prayers right now during this difficult time, if you could. The Lord has blessed me with a lot of strength because I know all this that I have did not come from inside me!! Without the Lord I am nothing, I know this now more clearly than ever. I'm also grateful for the perspective I have as a returned missionary; it helps a LOT. I just need to remember to look on the bright side of things, and despite the many shadows and dark areas, there always is a bright side! Like I have two whole years to do everything I've always wanted to do like get my teaching certification, lose weight, buy a house, learn Spanish fluently, etc. etc. ... and I can do all this without distraction, right??!! ;-)

You have a great attitude. You also need to travel and see some of your married friends...wink, wink. I love you so much.
The worst & the best things about life are the unknowns! It is comforting to know that everything will always work out the way it is supposed as we are doing what we are supposed to. I will definitely be thinking about you. You are such a positive person & I know you'll be okay!!!
