JARED'S MISSION CALL!!! :D

Yes. I put it in all caps because that's how excited I am. I'm trying to contain myself right now. Just watch the video and you'll see why :) 

I can't even describe how excited I am. 

For a lot of selfish reasons actually. Italy would have been my dream mission. I've always wanted to marry someone who went to Italy on his mission. Italian is my favorite language. I want to visit Italy more than anywhere else. ALSO, I know the mail system in Europe isn't too bad so that's just a bonus ;)

He's so excited, and I'm extremely proud of him. I think it's funny because I'm the one in the relationship who loves old cultures, buildings, cities, anything with history really. He's the one who is all into modern anything. And now he's going to one of the oldest cities :) I love it!! 

His face is perfect :) He read it in his head before he read it out loud. I was like, "AH WHAT DOES IT SAY!!" But based on his face, I knew he wasn't going to Boise :)

I love his smile :) 

January 16th, 2013. 

I was expecting him to leave in like November. But I'm so excited we get to spend the Holidays together :) We've only been dating for almost 6 months. So I'm glad we get more time together. But at the same time, I wish he would just leave sooner so he can come home sooner. 

For anyone who doesn't know, I've had a missionary before. Almost two years ago this same thing was happening. It's crazy though how different it feels this time. I like it :) 

I'M JUST SO EXCITED!!!!!!!
