we heart our missionary

I am pretty sure that I can.not.wait. to welcome this guy home!

 

 It is a little crazy to think that two years has almost gone by and in two months we will be picking him up at the airport! YAY! We are excited for Carson and him to finally meet in person! I don't know what I will do with my Sunday nights once he gets home though because I usually spend all night emailing him and uploading pictures while Rob studies!

Get this. Last year for my Mom's birthday, my brother and his companion made my mom a cake on their P-Day and carried the cake around with them and sang her Happy Birthday and ended up sharing the cake with their district to celebrate her birthday. They took lots of pictures and a video and he sent it to my mom for her birthday. It was sweet. I wondered what he was going to do this year. Last week was my Mom's birthday and the Monday email day came and passed and he didn't seem to have anything extra special for her. He did send her a birthday card and told her happy birthday in his email! Good Enough! But then on my Mom's actual birthday one of his best friends showed up at my parents house with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my Mom. Justin had sent his friend money and asked him to buy my Mom flowers and deliver them to her on her birthday from him. Totally.Sweet & So.Thoughtful!!! Even though he is a world away, his love for his Mama isn't forgotten. I hope that my boy(s) love me that much when they are young men. 

Love this kids & Miss his guts! He's one of my best friends & I couldn't be more proud of him!

He is so thoughtful. He even specified in his letter to not let his sisters know so that it was a total surprise. So excited for you guys to have him home!
