In Somewhat Retrospect...I'm Kind of a Hobo.

I am currently in Utah. With my grandparents.
3 days ago, I was with my best friend who is getting married.
A week ago, I was with my other grandparents. In Las Vegas.
Tomorrow I will be back with my best friend.
A week after that, I'll be back at my grandparents house.
A week after that said week, I will be in Idaho. With MYYYYYY family! And aunt and uncle. And cousins. And grandparents.
Roughly a week after THAT said week, I will be home. In Washington.
Did I mention that I'm going HOME???
If that wasn't confusing to you, you probably understand physics/calculus, and/or rocket science.
Just kidding.
Brandon has had to get a couple different addresses from me so that he can send me letters while I'm not at home or down in Vegas. At least I'm getting some and he gets some too. :)
Anyways, going back to HOME. I haven't seen my family in 6 months now. I am so excited for the next couple of weeks because I will get to be with them for 2 months this summer! Dysfunctional? Yes.  But, oh so much fun. I can't wait.
Since I haven't seen my family for 6 months, I know a little bit of what Brandon is going through. He hasn't seen his family (or me) for almost a year now. We are almost officially on the downward slide! I'm pretty positive that I moved to get some of the experiences that he is. We've been going through stuff together since actually before we started dating. I don't know about him, but I look back at all the things that have happened to both of us and think wow. All of this is for a reason. It's not nearly as weird as how my life and my best friend's life  have paralleled almost exactly. But, that's for another post. :P
So, yes. My best friend is getting married. We have been joined [at a distance] at the hip since we were about 5 years old. We've kept talking through all my moves and I love her so dang much. It's just hard to see her get married while I'm stuck waiting for a missionary. Her fiance is absolutely PERFECT for her and I couldn't be happier for them. Apparently, being the maid of honor AND the best friend, my approval was important/needed. Well, I give it fully. :P That said and almost done, I have asked her to fly up to Seattle like the day AFTER I get engaged so that she can help me with all of this stuff that I have no idea what do for. When that will happen...I don't know.
Exciting news! Elder Woodland and his companion had a baptism this past Saturday! AND Brandon got to perform the baptism! He sent pictures and he looks so much better than when he left. Not that he wasn't cute then, he just looks healthier and what not now that he's gained a bunch of weight.

I love and miss that cheesy smile. :)

Baby, that we're falling in."
