black wednesday

well we dropped eric off today at the mtc. it was bittersweet for all. my thoughts while sitting in the family/missionary meeting consisted of two things:

1) this movie is really outdated. maybe my boss would be down for remaking it when he gets home in three years. i bet he'd like the challenge.

2) thank heavens it's not me getting dropped off this time! i was feeling pretty anxious, but it helped to know that at the end of the hour, i would be going through the door that said "family exit."

3) i'm a much different person than i was two years ago. no where near where eric is as being prepared for a mission goes. but in these past few years, i've learned more about myself. yes, i'm a different kid, but that's what i like about myself.


also i realized that i have had a knot in my stomach for the past month and it's not getting any better. coming to work today didn't make it any better. we have so much to do. i guess the next thing to look forward to will be the trip to arizona in march. but it's going to be a beast of a time working up to that day before we go.

5th gear, here i go.

love you nick, and i'm sad eric is gone for TWO YEARS, but i'm also glad you are here :) and school is a BEAST, but you are fitting everything in extremely well- keep it up- it makes the breaks SOOOO much more rewarding!
