This Sweet Boy Has Been Gone For... 7 WHOLE MONTHS!! and two days :) Can you believe it? I know I can't. I remember his farewell so clearly, I remember being glued to his side at his farewell open house so profoundly, and I remember saying goodbye to him and never wanting to let go like it was yesterday, definitely not 7 months ago... We have 17 more months until we get to be reunited again. Oh the anticipation is just killing me! I LOVE sending and receiving letters. Every time I get one my heart jumps for joy and I scream a little inside :) Mostly for holidays, but also just for fun when I'm missing him, I'll send a package to brighten up his day! The last package I sent was for Easter, it was pretty much a huge Easter basket. Since there has been a long break between holidays, I decided to send him a "just because I love you" package the other day. I was pretty excited about its contents :) The whole package, which probably wont look like this by the time it arrives in Ohio The card. I hope he appreciates the colors as much as I do! Two of his favorite chips with Ecclesiastes 2:24 attached Priesthood Powerade A new tie with Proverbs 3:3 on it "Chews the right" on a packet of orbit "You are a Lifesaver to the people in Ohio" on a package of lifesavers and Matthew 25:21 on a pack or riddles skittles A Sports quotes book by John Bytheway and 2 bookmarks I made to go with it :) There was also some cheesy lovey dovey notes and cute pictures haha :) It's so fun to put packages together and hear how happy it made him when he opened it. These past 7 months have honestly flown by, I sure hope the next 17 will as well. Have a magnificent day! All my love, -Aleigh Joy
