| Homecoming Day Picture |
Well, the day had come. It was finally Bryan's homecoming talk. I knew what dress I was going to wear two months before... So saturday night I spent the night at Nicole Merrils house and Heather came over. We had a fun night doing what we do best: talk talk talkin. Merrils parents were out of town so all three of us slept in her parents bed. We just had a big cuddle fest sleepover! The next morning all three of us got ready together and they all calmed me down and told me I was pretty ha. What good friends I have. Heather couldn't come to the actual homecoming, but Merrill went with me, and we sat next to my dear friends Mark Woodbury and Kyle Crowther. Man, it's still weird to me that they are all home. Mark tried to put his arm around me while Bryan was speaking to get a reaction out of him, too bad he didn't notice. So he starts talking about Grace, Merit and Mercy and I seriously couldn't believe how amazing it was! His farewell talk was fantastic, and he comes back and knocks his homecoming talk out of the park. It wasn't the typical "talk about my mission and people talk", it was so meaningful and taught me so much and he incorporated the perfect stories from his mission into the talk. I just remember thinking "yup, I'm so in love".
The rest of the day was perfect, minus me getting picked on by his family (which I secretly loved). He spent most of the afternoon catching up with aunts, cousins, uncles and grandparents, and I just loved seeing how happy he looked, and enjoyed talking with Erika and her cute cousins. At one point I did have a nice little chat with Grandpa Frandsen. He even told Bryan to go away, and said he'd take care of me. One of the most adorable and hilarious old men I have ever met.
I did finally get some alone time with him, and that boy surprised the crap out of me. He grabbed my hand! The boy had only been home 2 weeks!! I was expecting something more like at least a month, but hey - I won't complain. Ah, it was just a good night! Being with his family and him and I loved how everything just seemed right.
