18 months is complete

 I remember it like it was yesterday, saying goodbye to my best friend was hard to say the least. I have had this human with me every step of my life. For those who have followed this blog, if there even are any haha you may recall that I made this blog right before she left and to think its been 18 months still baffles me. To recall back on when she left click here. Also, if you want to hear about all of her experiences she had, head over to her blog, you won't regret it. :)

To say I was freaking out the night before she got home is an understatement, don't mind my super cheesy sign...embrace it haha that's what I did.

I remember watching my brother and cousins come off the escalators but to see my girl. Oh it was a happy day and the reunion was sweet. The pictures speak for themselves. 

Besides our 'crying' faces, this picture is truly so tender. goodness it give me the feels.

I remember thinking about how I was going to make it without Kaycee and I remember getting the impression that this would be a growing time for me. And oh how it was a HUGE growing period for me. To say I looked forward to her emails haha like really though I would try and plan my mornings around her emails. Having my best friend on a mission was a blessing in my life <--- never thought I would say that. Even though I would try telling myself that I don't need to tell her everything, let's face it, I did. Kaycee Shae, because of your mission my testimony has increased. Hearing your experiences and the strength I received from knowing that even in Virginia you were still rooting for me, thank you, thank you, thank you. 

Kaycee's farewell talk was on gratitude. Her homecoming to be honest I don't remember the exact topic all I remember is her saying something along the lines..."I'm incredibly grateful that Heavenly Father gave me this opportunity to serve him as a missionary and the experiences he gave me." Once again I felt the love that Kayc has for this gospel and her Heavenly Father. Which also made me more thankful for the experiences that the Lord gave me while she was gone. But oh how I have missed having her home. We haven't had a whole lot of time to be together since she's been back seeing how she decided to start at BYU (yes she left me at USU it's okay no hard feelings) haha. I am so grateful though for those phone calls and texts that we can do now. I am looking forward to our adventures that awaits and what life has in store for each of us. Much love BFG, much love!
