Week número uno

Hey guys! So my week has been pretty interesting... Devon was set apart as a missionary last Saturday and it was so exciting knowing that everything was officially on its way. He checked into the MTC on Wednesday. I also started my last semester of high school, in which my classes rock!!! I am taking independent living which is a senior class for everything you need to know to get you on your feet after high school. I'm taking family matters which revolves around the family and learning about our own, others, and our future families. I'm also taking a course called Early Chilhood Education which plans activities and lessons for preschool-aged children. Half the class is executing our lessons at an actual preschool within our school. Let's just say, I'm really prepping myself for motherhood! I joined a gym this week and have gone on the days I don't work and it has felt so good getting into shape! Anyways, I've been feeling super good about Devon's departure. It's been a week since we've talked and it's been the weirdest feeling and of course I miss him, but then again, my excitement just takes over that fact that he's gone. It's been a week of total peace and comfort. I sent his first package the day after he left so he would get it within his first week there. I've found a new way to express my creativity! I haven't expected to talk to him until next week when he will be on his first pday (email day!!!) but I was happily surprised with a letter from him on Thursday! Best. Surprise. Ever. It's easy knowing he's gone because he's doing something so wonderful. I am so blessed to have him in my life and to see the desire he has to serve the Lord. I'm most excited to hear his stories and how much his testimony will grow. Wishing you all the best!
