Love Is In The Air... Part 2

Its been a crazy week so far and to top off all the craziness, Wednesday JT text me and said he had something to tell me and that it would be better to talk in person. And just like your average virgo, I started over analyzing the whole thing and was sure I was about to get "The Talk." You know that talk missionary's give their girlfriends prior to leaving for the MTC. They have to spend less time together, or break up. So I started preparing myself for either of the two and anxiously waited for him to get to my house after work.

As soon as he got there and we started talking, I asked what he had to tell me and he said "he'd better sit down.."

I was pretty much freakin' out inside at this point.

He then began to tell me that earlier in the day his dad had received a phone call from their Stake president, who had spoken to JT's mission head quarters in Uganda where the Mission President was asking if JT could come six weeks earlier from his original leaving date...

JT then took a deep breath and told me he said "Yes."
SO, instead of leaving May 29th, JT leaves for the MTC April 17th.

My initial reaction was 100% shock. Then I thought he was joking. I'm still trying to grasp the idea he is going to freaking Africa, but now he is leaving a lot sooner then he planned. A LOT sooner. I was glad I was sitting down.
5 minutes passed and I was still saying "wow.." Like I wasn't mad or upset at all..just shocked. All of it just kinda hit me. Like..JT is going to central Africa in 6 weeks. It's so surreal! Haha I couldn't be more proud of him for wanting to serve at all times, but I'm still in shock haha. It sucks we won't be spending that extra time together but this way he will be home sooner. (Well Hopefully! He keeps reminding me that it all depends on transfers and what not. I try not to hit him and keep telling myself he will be home earlier)

But at the end of the day, I know Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us and we just have to trust that and have faith that everything will work out and it's all for a reason.
ANYWAYS,
In my last post I mentioned my valentines present from JT, but we weren't able to go due to windy weather, so we re -scheduled for Saturday!
Well we drove back to hurricane saturday and went on the Helicopter ride. It was seriously amazing! I felt like I was flying in a bubble! Haha!
I forget how beautiful Utah is. We truly live in the most beautiful place! It was definitely the best present I've ever received. My valentine did good!!! He put my homemade present to shame!!
