An Awesome Email

My mom got a really exciting email today. How exciting could an email really be, I'm sure you're all thinking?? Well guess what it was? It was the travel itinerary for the return of Elder!!! Brody flies into to SLC at 11:00 a.m. on March 18th (Brooke's birthday). We really are on the count down now! Just thinking about my little brother makes me want to cry. He and I have always been close and it was really hard on me having him gone when Brooke was born, especially when he was struggling so much too. I've gotten used to getting his letters every week and it was a lot easier with Cole, even though he was still missed. I'm so grateful that he made the decision to serve a mission, he has grown up and learned so much more than he'll ever realize, and I am so proud to be his big sister, but I can't wait to have him home!!!!

P.S. My "other" brother (Brody's best friend) Ty gets home a week from Saturday!

    That's so exciting! My brother didn't serve a mission, but he lived in Arizona for over 3 years and it is hard not to have them close by. We should totally run a half marathon together. I really have only ran 3 or 4 miles at a time, but I am on a 16 week program to get to where I can. The Logan one isn't until mid September, so I am going to do the training twice.

    Ooh yeah! That's so exciting.... I know that exact feeling of waiting to see them after two long years, and for him to come home to a niece and nephew! How fun, and hopefully your mom doesn't go too crazy getting everything ready for him! :)
