He's BACK!

So... My "missionary" (I don't really like to call him that, it sounds weird to me) came home from his mission on Wednesday, June 18th. He served in the Nashville, Tennessee mission. Today I finally got to see him again for the first time in over two years... needless to say, I was pretty nervous. Darron (that's his name) and I decided before he left on his mission that we wouldn't write to each other about mushy things or the future or anything that could distract him from the work, so when he came home neither of us really knew what to expect because we hadn't talked about it in so long. And even though it was hard not knowing what to expect, I wouldn't take it back for anything. I know that we handled our relationship obediently and in the best way possible these past two years and the peace that comes from knowing that makes everything worth it.
But, after spending the day with him today and getting over that initial nervous awkwardness, it was actually really natural. We had a really nice afternoon together and it was wonderful to get reacquainted and talk about our lives for the last two years. And I can tell by talking to him that he and I are pretty much on the same page about how we want to treat our relationship right now... which is such a big relief.
So to everybody who knows about me and Darron, he's back, and things are good! And I'm so grateful to all of you who were huge sources of support to me while he was gone!
