Russia is 5548 miles away!

Aaron left on Saturday morning. 


I cried. Just a little. (honest)


Thank you SKYPE!!!!! (What would I do without you?)

Thankfully Aaron and I are able to Skype twice a day. It's funny because Moscow is 10 hours ahead of Utah, and so I talk with him in the morning (his night) and late at night (his morning). It's great. Michael loves it. 


I think Michael thinks Aaron is INSIDE of the computer!

Tonight I wanted to cry again. 

Do I miss him? 

OF COURSE!

Will I be okay without him for another 26.5 days?  

I'll have to be.

5,548 miles really isn't that far away.    

In honor of his adventure in Russia, our blog background depicts lovely Matryoshka (or babushka) dolls. (They nest inside each other!) 

Yes, Aaron is bringing me home some, wahoo! These are the ones I want:

Go cougs!
 Oh, and these:




On another note - this handsome young man (my little brother, Jacob) is going to receive his endowment in the Provo Temple tomorrow night! He leaves on his mission to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, (Spanish speaking) on March 2nd!!! He is going to be one FANTASTIC missionary! 

 
I'm pretty sure Jake wants some of those awesome babushka dolls too!

  3. Tough stuff! I'll bet it will go by fast, though. (HOPEFULLY!) And it will be totally worth it.

  6. Good to see you today! Let me know if you want a walking partner while Aaron is gone. My brother went to the same mission your brother is called to! He loved it! Such a small world!
