My life is moving so fast! Has it really been 3 months since I last posted??
Well, I am here to update everyone on my beautiful life.
(Disclaimer: Now, I realize this post is over the line of somewhat cheesy, but realize I am just going through a very cheesy point in my life right now! )
Derick has now been home for 42 days (has it only been 42?!) and we have yet to go a single day without spending it with each other.. and I have a feeling if we were forced to spend a day without each other we would kind of go through some major withdrawals.  I always thought going a day without seeing him would be a piece of cake now that I have managed to go 2 whole years, but in reality, those 2 years didn't make it easier to be apart. If anything it has made it harder!

Reunited and it feels so good!

When Derick was away I always thought "I bet I won't even realize how much I miss him until I see him again." I was so right! I completely forgot how happy that boy makes me,  how much he can manage to make me laugh, how I can talk to him about every single little thing,  how cute he is, and how nice it feels to be completely comfortable in my skin again!

The week, the month... oh the 4 months before he came home I was ridiculously nervous and now that being reunited is done and over with I wonder why the heck I was such nervous wreck! In fact, now that this whole experience is all done and over with I wonder why I was so sad to see him go in the first place.  If I had told myself that a year ago I would've thought I was an idiot, but really, now that it is done I feel like 2 years of my life never even happened.  We instantly jumped back into where we left off -- well I'll actually be honest with myself, the first few days were a little awkward.  He would flinch if I got somewhat close to him, and one time we were walking outside alone!( how could we??) He started freaking out about "breaking so many rules" you know:

1. being alone with a girl

2. being awake past curfew

ya you get the gist.  Luckily I thought his awkwardness was cute.  The best part about it was, it just showed what a great missionary he had been! The harder the time you have adjusting shows the kind of missionary you were.  He was definitely very focused and out there for all the right reasons! 

We have made so many great memories together and we only have more to come! I am, for the first time in 2 years, 100% content with my life and where it is taking me. :)
