Not goodbye, See you later

Well I thought it would only be appropriate to make my first blog about the boy that has changed my life.
 Benny has been a huge part of my life for almost the past 3 years! He has changed my life in so many ways that I couldn't be more grateful!! He made me smile all the time and he just made me the happiest person!! Seems like just yesterday that we started hanging out and telling each other we liked each other, going on our first dates, going to dances!! Hopefully this next two years will go by as fast as those three!

Our last day with each other couldn't have been better. Saying goodbye is not fun no matter what, but our last day was perfect! First thing we went to the temple together, it was awesome I love how the temple makes you feel I felt a lot of peace there it was such a great experience! We than went to Walmart and got all the last little things he needed! It was so fun, he was being a dork at the store and making me laugh like he always does! We than went and got lunch at Firehouse Pizza! We have gone there for a few dates so we thought it would be a good "last supper" he liked to say! We had such a good time than we went back to to his house almost got everything packed and his mom said once is two rooms were clean he could get a nap in, that got him going he was so tired from going to the temple at 5:30 that morning than with me and our busy day! So we hurried and finished than went and watched some TV. I cuddled him until he fell asleep than I had to get ready for the night!! He picked me up 6:30 in his suite and tie he was wearing to the MTC the next day, it made me so happy cause he was wearing the tie I got him one time for a game, probably the cheapest tie he has. It was really cute of him than we started walking to the and we didn't even get to the car without me starting to cry, figuress.. I knew that this would be a very hard night! we went and drove up to one of our spots! I gave him a very long letter, a sample thing of the perfume I wear the most and than a book of picture of all of our friends!! He really loved the picture book, so that made me really happy. We talked for a little than headed down to his house, I wanted to tell his family good luck the next day and see them all! We all hung out and talked for a little than it was time for him to take me home. When that time came my heart seriously dropped, I couldn't really see my life the next 2 years without Benny. I gave him a huge hug in his drive way before we left I didn't want to detach myself from him. When we got to my house we were listening to church music in his car and Tell we meet again came on it was very fitting to the situations! He walked me up to the door, and we gave each other a hug and kiss goodbye! I'm going to miss those! He told me see you in 2 years i'll be knocking on this door to come pick you up. I cant wait for the day!!

He is going to do awesome in Colombia! I'm so happy that he is taking 2 years of his life to give those Colombian people eternity! I'm so proud of his choices that he has made so that he could serve a mission!! I'm so grateful I have been able to have him in my life, he has taught me so much and always making sure I'm doing what I am supposed to do! He has so much faith in me, he always made me feel like I could conquer anything! Thanks for everything benny! Thanks for all the smiles, laughs, and tears! Thanks for always calling me pretty. Thanks for always listening to me and knowing just what to say, Thanks for understanding me like no else does! Thanks for your testimony, it has helped me grow stronger! Thanks babe for the most amazing 2 years and 8 months! GOOD LUCK BABE!!! I love you!! watch out Colombia Benny is one his way (:

Hi Jackee! I just commented on Erica's blog post and saw your name...just thought I'd visit your blog! Such a darling and sweet post. I have never actually met you, but I've seen you and knew you and benny were dating. My sister sent off a missionary and it was definitely a trial, but SO worth it because these boys are serving the Lord and strengthening others...you know all of this, but good luck with everything! It will be such a fun time for the both of you these next two years...and after!
