Soon enough...

HE COULD NOT COME HOME SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really have to update you all on what has been going on. Most of you know since I totally spilled most of it all over the MG group on facebook...anyways.

So Colton really had me confused for the longest time because he asked me to wait for him and he sent me his Joseph Smith Eternity Ring, but than he would say things about dating other girls when he gets home and stuff like "whoever I marry" he was never really willing to commit and I honestly didn't really understand the depths of how much he loved me until the video he sent me (see previous post). Ever since that video and what I saw in him and heard from him I really have been just certain that it is all worth it...the confusion and not really knowing for sure what is going to happen when he gets home...all of it is WORTH IT!!! I keep telling myself SOON ENOUGH...soon enough he will be home and soon enough we won't have to be seperated again and soon enough we will be back to our old antics!

He told me today in the letter I got that when people ask me why I am planning on going on a mission and what I am going to do when he gets home and if he wants to marry me than...he wants me to tell people that we will do whatever our Heavenly Father asks us to. He knows that I have been prompted to go on a mission...to prepare for one and he says he has felt it too...but he also says that he knows that the whole mission thing may change when he gets home...

that totally means he is NOT closed off to the thought of marriage!! YAY!!!!

He sent me this right at the perfect time! I was going through a rough spell and I was questioning how he felt about me and what I should do in regards to the whole waiting thing. I got this video and I now have PROOF in his eyes that he loves me! I mean I knew how he felt but seeing him say it and actually MEAN it just makes me cry!!!!!!!!

How did I get a man so good???

Missions Missions Missions!

So have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE Colton? Really I love him a lot because he is completely 100% supporting my decision to go on a mission...not only is he supporting me..he WANTS me to go and he KNOWS I need to!!!
I wasn't going to ask him to wait for me because I didn't want him to feel pressured or anything BUT he went and was saying how 18 months isn't long and that he is glad we would get a month or so between him coming home and me leaving. Also he is really excited for me and I know that my going on a mission will give him sometime to be at home and also it will give him some time to get to work and go to school so that works.
I am so excited to be going on a mission and getting ready for one and YOU HAVE NO IDEA how THRILLED I am that Colton supports me and is actually helping me prepare and get ready. He is giving me advice and he is telling me things that I should learn now and what I should prepare for.
YAY FOR MISSIONS!!!!

WHAT THE FETCH?!

DO YOU SEE THE ABOVE PICTURE???? Yeah Colton sent me a tape (yes that is THE tape I have been waiting for) and this was what came in the mail today... AAAGH!!!! Seriously I cried for the longest time ever and I was freaking out and than (and I owe him for life) my friend Charlie helped me figure out how to put the film together again and how to put it into another cassette.

SO I DID GET TO HEAR COLTON'S VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tape was AMAZING...although it was scratchy in parts (for like a couple minutes) the rest was fantastic. I really really really am just so happy I got it together! He is the sweetest guy and is so funny! He read this letter I had written back in september and was laughing at how we had been trying so hard to deny what everyone else already knew...just how perfect we are for each other!!!! It was amazing to hear him actually say it and to hear him say he loves me...my heart started beating really fast and I now have this permanent smile on my face!

I LOVE HIM TO DEATH and I am soooooo blessed to have him in my life and he has said he has been blessed with me in his. YAY US!!!

NINE MONTH MARK!!!!

Sad day...Elder Langi is getting transfered and I didn't get that candy to him!!! I am going to have to send some his way really soon that way HE can get a package BEFORE Colton hahaha oh man that kid is awesome! Elder langi got his bike back! Some kid rode by the apartment complex on it and they chased him down...the lock was still on the bike and Elder Langi happened to have the key. Amazing huh? Colton's bike is yet to be found.
Colton got made District Leader...again...XD He is in for a good time too. Last time he really enjoyed it and I think this time around it will do him a WORLD of good!!!!! So it turns out Colton did send the tape when he said he would, so that means it was either lost, stolen, or some postman is grooving to my tape from Colton.

NINE MONTHS!!! HE HAS BEEN OUT FOR NINE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEK!!!!!!! I mean really know that was HARD and there is soooo much more to go! But we are going to get through it together yet apart. I am really excited about this and I can not wait for him to get home.

Fetching postal system!

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GO AND RAISE PRICES ON STAMPS?!
I think Colton didn't have the right postage for when it changed last monday.
I honestly am so bummed because LAST MONDAY Colton sent me a tape and now on this sunday I still don't have one!!!!!!!! I have been waiting forever for it because I will also be getting pictures and a really long letter from him in exchanged for not calling me on Mother's Day. I haven't gotten a letter or anything I totally sent him one last week...I know he has transfers this week, but normally that doesn't stop him at all...
*sigh*
I am just a little sad because I was looking forward to hearing his voice again on the tape and I was looking forward to pictures and his letter. I guess I am being taught a lesson in patience...

What a humbling experience!

So apparently Colton prayed that Heavenly Father would humble him...and the next day his bike was stolen....I didn't want to laugh but I did when I read that. I mean wow that is seriously funny...but sad at the same time. I guess he did technically ask for it and I am glad he is being a good sport and isn't complaining about it!!!
I guess the church pays for bus passes so they get to ride the bus, but they mostly walk. I really think that Elder Langi is a good influence on Colton. Elder Langi is Tongan so that automatically makes him cool and he is also District Leader so that makes him doubly cool. I seriously want to just go and hug him...but I can't. I know he needs major uplifting now so I have to be there for him in ways not involving hugs.
I am sending a package on friday so it is going to be a real big boost for him. I got him some ties in silver (his favorite color), yellow, and pink (long story with that one). Also I am sending lollipops from Disneyland for him to share with the elders in his area, a little Donald Duck doll that says "Crabby but lovable" on it, and a Donald Duck pen...can you tell what his favorite Disney character is??? DONALD!!! Another thing I am putting is some pictures and a tape for him to listen to. Either Thursday or Friday I am getting one from him! Man I love this kid...
I am going to have to send it like overnighted because I guess Transfers are next week...he thinks he is staying in Denver and Elder Langi will be leaving...but we won't know until than so I may have a note to tell him to giv Elder Langi one before transfers and than share the others after....so if he gets transfered he can bribe the other elders in his new area!!!
Brilliant? I think so!
