Well i'm sure most of you know that a little over two years ago I sent off a missionary, his name is Spenser. We wrote the whole time, and I waited until he got home from his mission...and once he was home...things were a little hard on us for awhile...okay they were a lot hard. But we got through it and are officially back together and as happy as ever. He still lives up North and i'm down here, so we are 4 hours away from each other... gotta love the long distance thing. But it's not that bad. We have seen each other every weekend for the past two months. It's so fun! He comes down or I go up there, and either way we have a blast! It will be nice when we don't have to do the long distance thing anymore. We haven't lived close to each other since December of 2006...sheesh. I'd say it's about time! :) He is still just as funny and amazing as he used to be. I forgot how much he makes me laugh... I laugh so hard sometimes that it just hurts so bad, and I beg him to stop being funny...but of course it just eggs him on! Oh well.. good ab workout.. and way too much fun. We are just a crazy pair, sometimes we freak even ourselves out, and wonder why we are so weird. But it makes it that much more fun. I am SOOO glad to have him back. He's only a phone call a way...instead of a letter that sometimes takes way to long to get to me...I hate when he has to leave, or I have to come home... but at least I know it's over...the wait is over. It makes saying goodbye that much easier. Before his mission I hated my life every time we said goodbye, cuz I knew it was just that much closer to him leaving for 2 years, but now it's just until next time! And it gives me something to look forward to every week. I am one lucky girl. He brought me back all the letters that I wrote to him while he was gone, and I have been putting all of our letters together in binders. I decided to make it as cute and fun as possible, and it's been quite the project. But it's been so fun! I was feeling bad for being a slacker at writing in my journal over the past couple years, but my letters are a great journal, I forgot about so many things, it's so fun to go back and read them! And the same for him. It is going to take three 3 inch binders to hold all of our letters...but before I finished decorating the big binders I put the letters in small ones just to keep them nice and organized.

That's a lot of love right there. :) We both wrote just under 100 letters to each other while he was gone.

Here is one of the finished binders....


Well thanks for reading my blog friends, I will be better at blogging now. I'm done with this "strike". It's overrated! :)
