Today Is A Good Day.

After not getting a written letter in a month, I finally got one today. I told myself as I was walking to the mailbox not to get my hopes up. I literally gasped when I opened the mailbox and the letter was sitting there. Plus, it was a pretty long letter too AND he answered all of the questions that I sent him (I'll explain that later). 

And this is all after the wonderful conversation via e-mail that we had this morning where we decided that we're going to live in Idaho and we're gonna have a Husky named Luna. 

I feel so spoiled today. I love Elder Evans soooo much!

our first dance

I can't remember what song we danced to, but I can remember that I was happy with you--in a way that I couldn't explain it. We didn't know each other very well at all then. I was having a horrible night because my friends were being weird, I didn't want to dance. I just wanted to sit around and hang out. You were there. You talked to me. You made me laugh. You made me feel better. I said that I didn't want to dance anymore, but I'd dance a slow song if someone asked me. You smiled at me and pointed to yourself. I agreed. When a slow song came on, you reached for my hand and pulled me onto the dance floor. While we were dancing, we talked. You told me about your job at the Air museum. You told me about Kansas. You told me about your life plans. "So...what's next in this plan of yours?" I asked. "A mission." was your immediate response. In a way, I got discouraged. At the time I so was not down with dating a premie. After the song was over, we went back and sat down to talk more. At the end of the night, we exchanged numbers. You don't know this, but on my way home, I texted my best friend "What do you think about Colten?"

Who would have thought that that one moment would have led to all of this?
