Blogging again!!

Oh boy! I honestly never thought I'd be doing this again! I figure no one reads these things anyway, so I'll be able to just say whatever is on my mind.
It's so strange that my last post was about missing a friend and this one is the exact same thing. Paul leaves for the MTC tomorrow and while I'm excited for him I still miss him. His Farewell was on Sunday and he was soooo nervous! His voice cracked once, and he pulled at the microphone 22 times...Jessica and I counted, and that didn't inclued the last part of his talk where he just CLUG to it. Haha! Oh man, he makes me laugh! Anyway, there was something in his talk that really stuck with me and that was that there are people out there who don't know that they're children of God! Not only is that one of the most important facts that I have learned but it's also one that is divine in it's truth! I'm so glad he's serving the Lord! After his talk I mouthed "good job" to him, he smiled back and seemed to calm down a bit, but I think he was still a little nervous.
His parents spoke with him. Haha! I got to say, his dad is a hoot! Haha! He was cracking jokes over the pulpit and Jessica (Brown) turns to me, laughing, and was like, "Oh man! He is a funny guy!" Haha! Anyway, they kept looking at me during the meeting...like Paul would talk to them and they'd all look at me...which was kind of awkward...Of course....Okay, I got to say it! Before the actual meeting Jessica, Jessica and I were in the bathroom singing, dancing, etc....and then a woman suprised us and came out of one of the stalls!!! And if THAT wasn't embarrassing enough...when we went into the chapel I saw that that same woman was sitting next to Paul on the stand...yeah...OF COURSE it was his mom! With my luck it would have to be!!
Haha! Anyway...it was really interesting to meet members of his family when we went to his house afterwards. His niece Sage is soo adorable!! She was soo shy when he introduced her to me, but once I asked her what books she likes to read, her eyes sparkled with excitement as she told me about Little Women and Anne of Green Gables (two of my own favorites).
I gave him his present too: Retractable highlighters...don't ask...long story...and yes, I know we ARE dorks!! :)
Haha! Oh man, I'm really going to miss him! But it's all good! He's serving the Lord and the Lord will make it right. :) The church is true!! ...I can't wait to write him his first letter!! I've already got a bunch of things to tell him and he doesn't leave for the MTC until tomorrow!! Oh man, words aren't enough to say how proud I am of him!!
