Returned Missionaries

Hello all.

So a few days ago a good friend of mine returned from his mission! This is a friend that I met up at BYU, we dated for around a month, then broke it off; however, we wrote to one another consistently the whole time he was gone. I swear his letters were the ONLY social thing I did while I was in Sacramento. I really feel like they made my entire week better.

I remember one day when I worked at Jamba from 6AM-3PM, then went and picked up the girls from daycare, played, made dinner, put them to bed, cleaned the kitchen, took a shower, and finally at the end of the day checked the mail. There was a letter from Alex, and I was suddenly in such a good mood.

Don't get me wrong- these weren't lovey letters at all. It was just nice getting a letter with good stories, sometimes a hilarious movie or book reference, and always a spiritual boost.

Last night we spoke on the phone and I swear NOTHING has changed. I'm sure that's just because it was over the phone and very brief, but still it was bizarre.

I'm excited for school in the fall- the semester of awkwardly running into a million boys I've dated and haven't seen in 2 years. Woo!
