Eternally Yours

Since I've made it well known that Mike is away serving a mission, I figured I would post some fun little things happening with both of us since he left. But, because Mike is in Russia, and I'm guessing just his specific missions rules, I'm not allowed to post photos  of him, or any other photos that have taken place in Russia itself. Only the MTC in Provo and Madrid. Sucks, right? Yeah, I know.

But, alas! Feast your eyes on some fun along the way!

Elder McCallum entering the MTC!

I was so blessed to be able to talk to him over the phone as he was on his way there. He just kept comforting me, telling me everything was going to be perfectly fine. He is my rock, and I had to be the same for him. He told me repeatedly how much he loved me. I was truly excited. I mean, the awful wait before the wait was FINALLY over. Bring on these next 24 months. They don't scare me (too much.) As he was stepping foot onto the MTC grounds, my mom and I pulled into the parking lot of the Seattle temple. Talk about comfort. The Lord was with us both that day, and I couldn't be more grateful.

This chalkboard countdown is helping me keep sane. If I didn't have something as cheesy as this, I wouldn't be able to annoy you all at the beginning of every month-- duh!

I also love making him packages, but since he's in Russia, I sent the big, creative ones to him while he was in the Provo MTC. Here are a couple:

The "Greenie" Package

Included: Basically everything green I could possibly find (Apple Rings, Certs, a tie, etc.)

The "Valentine's Day" Package

Included: Hershey's Hugs and Kisses (aww!), heart shaped Reese's, a bunch of other candy, a teeny tiny bottle of my favorite perfume, cards/ letters, a red tie (not shown) and an adorable pink kitty. (I was hoping to embarrass him in front of the guys, but my plan apparently fell through. He carried it with him in his carry on bags, and sleeps with it every night. That boy has no shame.)

The "You Are My Sunshine" Package

Included: All things red, orange, yellow, and "hot" (peach rings, Red Hots, Lemon Lime Gatorade, a yellow tie.)

Most recently I sent him a package with a scarf, a ring, and a pocket watch.

We are having to much FUN in this adventure! I always love sharing what we're up to, it definitely helps the time seem to go faster! I'm so excited to see where all of this takes us. I only love him more and more everyday. He makes me so proud! He's serving a righteous mission, and teaching all those beautiful people of Russia some amazing truth. He works hard, and will only excel in all he does. 

Love you, Elder McCallum!! 

Eternally yours, -K-
