Well, my house is clean, my homework has been finished (in advance, mind you), my bag is packed and I've baked two loaves of banana bread (thank you friends for your recipes!) plus some chocolate chippers for the trip.
We're off to Lake Powell tomorrow.
But before we leave, we'll be waiting anxiously at the mailbox tomorrow afternoon for Scotty's mission call to arrive. He is the last of my 4 brothers to go & it seriously doesn't get any easier to say goodbye, even after 6 years of ALWAYS having a brother on a mission.
I really don't know who will come over to my house to cheer me up and color random pictures on my cabinets with me. Or who will make funny faces with me the entire car ride home from Lake Powell. I have no idea who will hang out with me during lunch, listen to me complain, jump with me for the camera, be my constant partner-in-crime or make me laugh until I pee my pants...
I'm excited for him to go, but a huge part of me will be missing while he is gone.
See you next week, friends.
I'll be sure to tell you where he's going when I return.

ReplyDeleteAwwww! My twin bros (one of them being MY Scotty - weird!) are also waiting for their calls. I get a 2-for this time....family gatherings are going to be VERY quiet (I think I can make up for the lack of noise).
