I know all of everyone that is LDS and has someone serving a mission from a sibling, best friend, boyfriend whatever you have, has seen this.
If you haven't seen this and are affiliated with any type of missionary you may cry if you are anything like me.
But with the anticipation of a best friend coming home in 2 weeks, watching this just increased my anxiety level to a 50 on a scale of 1 to 10
That was a bad idea on my part. Opps you win some you lose some right?

October 26, 2005
I was able to go to the temple with my parents and brother and sisters.
To be sealed for all time and eternity.
How amazing is that?
I love my family and I love this gospel.
I am truly grateful for it in my life & would be one lost soul without it.
I think about this day a lot pretty much all the time.
It makes me so excited to go back with my future hubby someday.
So that we can be together forever and have a forever family!
I am so happy that I know this to be true.
Some fun thing I remember at the top of my head of that day.
-Well I was 8th grade I believe and who isn't stoked to be checked out of school. I also was able to miss the Junior High Halloween dance.. I always had to go cause I was a cheerleader but I remember hating those things.
-I was able to get a really pretty white dress.. I remember being sad the temple had to get me a cover up that wasn't the cutest for the top but I got over it fast.
-Me and my brother had to wait in the nursery type deal at the bottom of the temple. Well we had to wait a while so we entertained ourselves with child games and coloring.. It was the only thing to make time go by faster.
-The lady that hung out with us and helped us, I remember being such a nice lady.. I don't think I have ever met a temple worker that is mean tho! 
(I wanna be that temple worker when i'm old, just play in the nursery)
-When the lady walked us up to the sealing room I remember thinking to myself this is the prettiest place ever. She told us a few thing that we saw. I don't remember the best but I do think about and cant wait tell I'm endowed some day and can refresh my memory.
Well the rest we can say was AMAZING. Such an amazing day! It really does mark one of the best days of my life and I'm truly grateful for being able to be sealed with my parent. eternal families are for real. I feel so blessed! I cant wait to be able to go through the temple again!

My adorable Niece Kennadee was able to be baptised and become a member of the church!! 
Such a special day for her and she looked so beautiful!! She has been talking about getting baptised for years now, no joke.. When my brother was on his mission she would be like when Jackson gets home and than another 2 years i'll be 8 and be able to get baptised.. The day finally came and when I asked her was it what you thought it would be she said it was better!!
I am so happy for this little one to make the decision to get baptised!! She loves this gospel and is such a great new member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints



On her baptism day! Doesn't she look so happy!!

On her 8th birthday I wanted to do something fun with her! So I decided to pick her up from school and take to the spa I work at give her a Pedi and Mani. She loved me massaging the lotion in her skin but everything else felt weird and she gotta pick a few colors to put on her nail and she loved it.. We had a good time!

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 (:
