It was about time for another post here!
So, we're going to start off with the best part and that, of course, is my dear missionary,
Elder Matthew Parks. <3
He FINALLY got transferred a couple weeks ago, and what's funny is that he is back in Ammon, which was his first area out of the MTC. What makes it different, however, is that he has an English speaking companion. He will be finishing out his mission there.
Wow! Just about 2 months left!! CRAZY Time flies when you don't think about it all the time, and that's just the trouble... now that it's getting so close, I think about his return ALL THE TIME.
On Sunday, I began to think about his homecoming and what I wanted to do-- airport or no. I was frustrated because I was really struggling between the two options, not fully feeling persuaded either way. Amidst my worries, I posted on the missionary girlfriends pages on Facebook of which I'm a part, just because I needed some advice and opinion. Lots of girls commented what they would do in my situation. One of the girls said something about meeting him at a spot that was special for the both of us. I though that was a sweet idea, but didn't think much more about it. That night, before bed, I prayed for direction and inspiration concerning this topic.
The very next morning, the idea of meeting at a special place came back to mind and this time it was like "Yeah! That's would be awesome! I'm going to do just that!". I mentioned it to my mom and my sister and they were all for it. I would meet him the day after he gets back so that he can have the first day with his family, without the stress of feeling like he has to balance the both of us at the same time. It will also fit both of our personalities so much better. Now that I have a plan, it's all I can think about and I'm just so excited for him to come home. I'm also really excited to tell him about this idea, but I will probably wait until it's closer to the time he comes home, which will end up being somewhere in September. AHHH! It's such a wonderful plan!
And now for the other good part of this post... MUSIC! It's time for a "Favorite Music" update!
One Direction-- Best Song Ever
I am in love with the music from the movie Moulin Rouge, hence these videos. :)
Elephant Love Medley
Your Song (only when Ewan McGregor sings it)
Come What May (beautiful song!)
I just started reading your blog toady cause I saw something on the fb page that I joined today. I have family in Idaho Falls and In Ammon. I think this is super cute! I will definitely use some of your ideas when my boy goes on his mission!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by! That is awesome that you have family there. Maybe Elder Parks will run into them sometime. When does he leave on his mission?
