After seeing several blogs by other girls waiting for missionaries, I thought I would give it a try as well. It looks like fun! My only regret is that I didn't start this earlier. Hello? What was I thinking?! :)
Matthew has been out on his mission for almost 12 months now, so this blog will be about my second year of waiting. Elder Parks is in Pocatello-- his third area. Before, he was in Idaho Falls, and then Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I just have to say it's funny how something as tough as being apart from someone you love is also such an exciting experience. Some days it's hard and I just want him to be home already, but then I pray, read inspiring quotes and previous letters, and everything becomes better. :) This is a very strengthening experience for both me and Matthew, and I'm thrilled that we're able to share it together.
Hi Sara! My name is Kara and I also recently started blogging. :) Your blog caught my eye because my missionary hits his year mark this year and is also serving in Idaho! (Boise... but still. Close enough right?? haha). We have also been dating for quite a while. :) I am excited to read your future blogs as we seem to have a lot in common! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! We do have a lot in common! I'm so excited about this. :D What's the name of your blog? I want to follow you too.
