Well, here I am. Back in the big world of tiny-town college. It doesn't seem like it's going to be quite as disastrous as last year summed up to be, so where are we?
D is gone. He left on his mission on May 9th, two days after his 20th birthday. We had a nice little celebration along with a going away party with him, and what do they say? No gathering is fully complete without a little family drama?
Oops.
Anyways, no worries. Everyone survived. I wasn't exactly the cause, but I didn't step into the world of irrationality to try to make it any better, either. Some weird things go on in that place, and I prefer to keep my two feet securely planted in the sane and sensible.
Moving on.
Let's see, what else... Ah. I had my nose broken the night before D left. Guess who broke it? Man, that poor guy. I thought he was going to have a heart attack. I had to yell at him to get him away from me for the two seconds I needed to scream. I wasn't even mad, that just friggin' hurt. When I snapped at him he went into a state of shock and jogged half-heartedly into the house and gave me the few moments I needed before he came back outside, planted his feet, and said, "I'm not leaving or going anywhere." To which I responded, "Okay, well that's good. Give me a hug."
I think he thought I was going to put up a fight about his staying outside with me or something. Heck no. That sucked. Hug time.
I think the best part about it was later when I was sitting on the couch after all of D's shock had worn off, and my nose randomly started bleeding.
He felt so guilty; I had trouble not laughing.
Anyways, D has hit up the Provo MTC; Colby, KS; and Colorado Springs, CO in the last four months or so. I'm so proud of that kid and we write all the time, and it's going extremely well. I couldn't imagine loving him more than I already did but it grows every single day.
And before I turn this into anything goopy, gooey or otherwise grossly romantic and/or pathetic, I'm going to quit right here until this mood passes. I don't know what to do with all these feels.
So, yeah. Cool story bro.
