well today one of my very best friends went into the MTC today.
she is going to Paris for her mission!
honestly, it is perfect for her.
and i am a little jealous.
the only way i would be seriously tempted to go on a mission is if i could go to either:
a) Paris
b)London
c)Milan
d)Belgium/Netherlands
e)Brazil
i am really really really going to miss her. it kinda feels like a hole is in my life.
i think its harder to say goodbye to girl friends going on missions than boys.
because when the boys leave, you had so many adventures (like starting college) ahead of you and the boys only miss a couple of things.
(like a couple of girls getting married but boys don't really care if they miss their friends weddings like girls do)
when they come home it is easier for them to get in the swing of things.
when girls leave, they are leaving right at the climax for a lot of their friend's lives-right when bigger adult events happen.
and when they come home, they sort of start all over.
when they come home everything will be so different.
so many things are going to happen and it will be harder to tell alyssa about them, because letters are slow and can only capture a few main points.
i can't call her or meet up with her at 2 am to talk about dumb little things.
but somehow all those little things turned out to be something.
that is why i am so impressed with alyssa's choice.
she is so brave and dedicated.
when she comes home, I will be graduating BYU (scary thought!) and then going to Grad school.
our days of going to school together are done.
i always knew she was going, and i really want her to have this wonderful experience.
i just forgot that her going and having this adventure meant i would have to be without her.
and i don't want to be.
maybe i am being overly dramatic.
as in i am.
but it is late, and i am feeling real emotional.
looking back this post is semi depressing and filled with self pity.
but guess what- that is how i feel so too bad.
I JUST REALLY REALLY LOVE HER SO THAT MEANS I AM REALLY REALLY GOING TO MISS HER.
so:
bonne chance et a bientot mon amie.
je t'aime beaucoup
