You know your waiting for a missionary when....






A missionary's girl is an odd object: She can get lonesome, discouraged, and temporarily lose faith in the whole missionary system. No one else can write such cheerful letters in such a rotten mood. No one else can get such a thrill at the end of the day by the words, "Why yes, there is a letter for you."




So lately I have noticed more and more how pathetic my life is while waiting for my missionary in Las Vegas.. So I decided to make a funny list of things that have happened and I am sure will continute to happen until he comes home in April 2012.

So here's the list...

you know your waiting for a missionary when...

*You call Domino's pizza on a friday night and they know exactly what you are going to order and don't even ask for your name

*You are obsessed with the mailbox, mailman, stamps, letters, packages and any other form of the United States Postal Service



*You get really angry when the mail man doesn't bring you a letter even when you know it is not letter day

*On P-day's (which are Monday's) you get on 2 hours before your elder emails and click refresh every 5 min just to see if his email will appear

*You have an endless supply of stickers to put on your sad,




super pathetic countdown until Elder Liddiard comes home!!! p.s. it is in 235 days!! =)

*All of your stories start with "well my missionary and I"

*You have had your wedding planed from the day he left..

*You don't listen to what anybody has to say about "2 years is a long time" or "a lot can happen in 2 years"

*You know that another day without seeing your elder really means one day closer to seeing him!
*** Missing someone gets easier everyday because eventhough its one day further from the last time you saw each other, its one day closer to the next time you will...*** Unknown-

* You elder commits you to make new goals every week and always asks can I do anything for you =)

*You are trying to grow spiritualy as well and worrying that your elder will be WAY more spiritual than you.

*You always try to talk about the scriptures and bear your testimony in letters!

These are just a few funny things that go on while waiting for my Elder Benjamin Isaac Liddiard. I sure do love him! I am so proud of him and he really is amazign =) I know that the past 16 and a half months have gone by somewhat fast and I am hoping the next 7 1/2 months will too =)
