Its been a while...

This is mostly for Michael and Hannah because they keep telling me to up date the blog. So, Life has been great lately. Michael and I were able to see each other this past weekend and had a great time! It has been really hard being away from each other. I had such a great time meeting Michael's family. They were such a fun crazy bunch! I am excited to have fun with them in the future! When we got to Colorado it was amazing to finally see in instead of talking to Michael on Skype or on the phone. He is so handsome! It was so good to hold his hand and have him by my side! He is such a good man and I am so lucky! We started our weekend off with lunch with Lizzy and JD. We then made our way to Colorado Springs. It was a funny and eventful day and we spent it with Michael's mom and sister. Saturday we went to Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy. Colorado is so beautiful! I would love to live there with Michael one day. The trees were so beautiful, red, green, and yellow leaves. The weather was nice and cool with a light breeze but the sun was warm. After an eventful day we slowed it down with a nice dinner. It was so good to sit and talk with Michael. He knows exactly how to make me smile and make me happy. I love just laughing with Michael! Sunday was a hard day because I knew I had only a few hours with Michael left. We watched conference in the morning then headed to Michael's cousin Scot and Kris's house. I then met the rest of Michael's extended family. They were so funny and so welcoming. I am so excited to be apart of that family. Hopefully next time I'll be better company because this time I was fighting back tears the whole time! They all knew how I felt though and were so kind. When Michael and I got to the air port I couldn't keep the tears back anymore. I cried the whole time. When it was time to say good-bye I couldn't let go of him. The announcer told us 5 minutes till they shut the door so I let go and walked onto the plane. Everyone stared as I walked to the back of the plane and gave me poutie faces. Heavenly Father has really helped me this far. I haven't cried since I got on the plane. Michael is back at school and starting his business and I'm back at home working. 72 days till December 18!!!!!!
