will have him back

in 23 days.  

He'll be home.  



I think I've written 6 times.  

I am a bad sister.  

I read all of his emails and always have great intentions of sending a message.


I think he will understand. 

Maybe.  

At least I didn't get married while he was gone. 


That was nice of me.  

Also, I am "growing my hair out" for his return  
(meaning I won't cut it really short again until after Thanksgiving).  


He'll be so happy. 


And I got this really cute yellow sweater. . . 

because he loves yellow   
( at least I think it is his favorite. . . remember I only wrote him 6 times and he is 10 years younger than me, but if I remember right he liked the yellow power ranger so it must be that he will love my yellow sweater. right?)

Okay really I bought it at Target without even checking my budget because I have been searching and searching for a yellow sweater my WHOLE life (like before he even left on his mission).  I think buying it for his return party is justified.  for sure.  

Enough about my cute yellow sweater.  This post is about Daniel.  

November 23rd is going to be here before we know it 
(I might even find an outfit I like more than the yellow sweater before then, but probably not)

I can't believe little Daniel is all grown up. 
The baby of the family. . . a return missionary.  

Let the countdown begin. 

23, 22, 21, 20, 19. . . . .

I NEED that sweater immediately. It would look so cute with my new gray boots...my new favorite color combo.

I am also very excited to have Daniel home. I wrote him every week. I'm glad you waited to get married until he was home. We can start planning now.

Ber you are hilarious. I love the whole sweater distraction topic. But you can't argue with cute, right? Hmmm... I wonder how that would look with my new green dress... Oh yeah, and hooray!

I remember talking to you about your brother preparing for a mission at the same time I was and it seems like 2 seconds ago. Truly. That means I've been home 6 months. Yikes! I'm so excited for the fun reunion it will be for all of you.

So exciting! He will love the sweater because it will have you in it!

Your hair is super cute. I don't think you should grow it out at all.

And that yellow sweater is fabulous.

My brother (who is 18 1/2 years younger than me) has been on his mission since August 4 and I have only sent him one really short e-mail. It was even his birthday at the end of August and I didn't do anything for him. I think I'm a horribler sister.
