I can’t believe I left my husband for a week and we haven’t
even been married for a whole month and I decide to go home for a whole week as
a newlywed couple that was a terrible idea! We missed each other so much and it
was hard to not be with him for 24/7. I know, needy, but it’s hard to be away
from someone you love! Anyways enough lovey dovy:) everyone knows we love each
other!
While I was in Utah I went to my sister laws shower! I’m so
excited for her to have her baby boy Owen! It will be my “first” nephew. Jed
was already an uncle to two cute kids before I was around.so now that we are
Uncle Jed and aunt Kenzie it will seem so real that I’m actually an aunt and
not just Uncle Jed’s girlfriend. Awe so cute!
After the baby shower I went up to help my dad get ready for
my brothers fare well. We were having Mexican I ended up making salsa, Café Rio
green cream sauce, rice and cookies. My dad worked so hard to make this day
great for Alex and it turned out so nice! We had so many people there to
support Alex. He gave an amazing talk that made me cry. I didn’t cry when I got
married but I did cry when Alex gave his fair well talk. Man I’m going to miss
him for those two long years but I know what he is doing is right. I’m actually
really excited for him he gets to go to a new place and try new things!
The main reason I went to Utah was to spend a lot of time
with Alex, while I was there Alex and I went to bear lake. We hung out with the
family and went wake boarding. We also went down to salt lake and went back to
the temple for the first time since I went through for myself. I was so glad that Alex and I were able to do
it once before he left. It is amazing how strong the sprit told me that he was
doing the right thing and that by him sacrificing two years to go serve the
lord and bring families together forever. Just like Jed and I’s little family
is. It makes me so happy that Jed and I will be together for time and all eternity
and that when we have kids they will be sealed to us. After losing my mom over
7 years ago it has made me want to do everything I could to make sure that I
would be able to go to the temple and get sealed to my family. It’s so great
that my kids have that comforting filling that we will be a family for forever.
We just spent a lot of time together doing brother and
sister things. Going out to eat, hanging out with family trying to get all the
time we could together before he left. The last night that I saw him was really
hard. I knew that no matter what I did I couldn’t stop him from going and I had
to go home and be with my husband. (Let’s face it there was no more food in the
fridge and he had been eating cereal the whole time I was gone. Poor guy) but
we went to dinner and that where we said our good byes. It was hard to think
that I wouldn’t see my best friend for two years. Having that twin bond we have
always done stuff together. This will be the longest I will be away from him.
But we have both grown up and we can’t be attached at the hip any more. I was
glad that I got to be with him for so long. But I’m glad he is doing the right
thing.
When I got back to Arkansas I was so happy to see Jed! He is
really the sweetest husband ever. He picked me up from the airport got my
luggage and we went to linner at one of our favorite Mexican restraints out
here, on the border yummy. Then of course as soon as we got home he had jobs to
do. But overall being back is so great! I really missed him and you don’t realize
how much you need someone until you spend time apart from them.
