The Last One Standing--I Mean, Waiting. Sad.

So... about a month or so ago I went to lunch with one of Colton's best friends girlfriends. It was really fun to talk about our missionary boys and how they are doing. She then told me that of her missionaries 11 or so close friends that left about the same time as Colton and her boy, only me, her, and 1 other girl were still "waiting" (I say that term loosely...) for our boys.



Well, this morning I found out that she, too, just got engaged. WHAT?!?!?!?!?! NO WAY! I'm the last one who hasn't written off my boy! SAD! When she first told me she was engaged, for a short time I lost hope in my ability to wait. I thought for sure that if anyone would wait for their missionary it would be her. I hung out with her and her boy enough to think that they were meant to be! However... I'm so so happy for her and her fiance. She's very excited and is 100% sure it's the right thing to do. So who am I to complain? I just can't believe that I'm the last one waiting!

I have to break the news to Colton--he might take it harder than her actual missionary will! Ok, probably not. But... I am nervous to tell him. He'll be just as shocked as I am, and probably worried about me waiting, too. I'm determined to beat the odds (but that doesn't mean I can't have fun while doing so...). Wish me luck! (Statistics seem to prove I'll need it...)

Photoshootness.

Last night me and Stacie decided to go outside and take pictures for no apparent reason other than we're both extremely strange. Needless to say, it keeps things interesting in the apartment. Random picture taking is our thing, that's for sure. Here are just a few from our crazy night:

Just hanging out.... literally.

We were um... hiding behind the couch? Who knows...

Ok, so I'm not sure how many of you I've told, but Colton made me a pillow before he left on his mission. It's my favorite shirt of his made into a pillow :) I loveeeeeeeee it. So so much. Here's a picture of it :)

This is me and my pillow getting supple on the couch. It's the next best thing to having Colton here, right? He gave me a bottle of his cologne along with the pillow, so it can always smell like him. It's really the most wonderful thing--ever!
