A Letter!!!! A Letter!!!!

Sooooo...if you didn't guess from the title...after almost three weeks I finally got a letter today! Actually, I got two! =D Apparently he forgot to send the first one, and since he doesn't have a post office nearby, he had to wait until the next time he was somewhere he could send it. Which wasn't for awhile I guess. I also got my very first two page letter! I know that doesn't sound super exciting, but Seth isn't much of a writer so I have only ever received single page letters. He also sent that picture of a temple...
and on the back it said...

"One day we are going to go there...together."
Loove him!! =) =) 
So that was amazing. Also, yesterday I moved into my first apartment and I LOVE it! It's such a cute little place and I love decorating my own space! It's the first time I have ever had my own room. Ever. I definitely don't mind sharing a room, in fact, there are a lot of things I like about it. It's comforting having someone there to talk to about...life. This summer I've been home with my family and my sister and I have laid awake in bed and talked almost every night. I cannot believe summer is already over, I feel like I just came home. As excited as I am to go back to Lincoln and be with my awesome friends, I am not ready to leave my family again. 
Yesterday as I was walking through Walmart I almost began to cry because it hit me once again that I am going to be going there alone. That seems so simple and silly, but it's just another little thing Seth and I did. The few months we had in college together were amazing, we were absolutely inseparable. We met every time the breaks in our schedules matched up, we went to church together, did homework together, ate together, went home on the weekends together, and even went to Walmart and ran all of our errands together. If one of us needed to get something, we both went. That's just how it was. In fact, the second semester after he had left people saw me walking alone and often made comments about how that was the first time they had seen me without Seth. I laughed like it was so funny, but inside I was crying, missing him like crazy. You would think I would be used to it by now, but going back by myself still brings a shock to me. I don't want to not have someone waiting for me outside of my lecture hall. I don't want to go places without him. I don't want to drive those three hours with no one to keep me company but the radio. I don't want to be the only one comforting me when I'm having "one of those days/nights." I don't want to be alone. I want my best friend. I miss him. Time will help though. I know that. It already has. Being there and having reports to write and papers to analyze will take up a lot of my attention and then, of course, there are the terrific friends who I cannot wait to see again and they will make the biggest difference of all. Thank you so much, all of you. You have no idea how much you truly help me and it is a huge blessings of which I'm sure I will never be worthy.
