coming soon to an airport near you.

sister paige wightman. 

100 days.

8:40pm, november 29th can't some soon enough.

i've never liked talking on the phone.

today it wasn't so bad (even though i'm pretty sure i was getting charged $17/minute), because i was talking to my beautiful sister, my best friend. she is currently en route to rome italy to begin her 18 month (now 16 month, but who's counting?) mission for our church.

i'm so proud of her. she has changed so much already and has such a love for all things italy. she spoke to me a little in italian, recited the first vision. weird to hear her speaking in another language with such fluency and confidence after just 2 months! she sounded happy and ready for what lay ahead for her. both of us teared up a little at the end of the call, knowing that it would be the last time we would hear each other's voices for 4 months. then came the last "i love you"s and that was it.

but boy was it good. so good.

bye bye paigey.

my best girl left yesterday to serve her 18 month mission.

i miss her oh so much already, but i am beyond proud of her and the choice she's made to serve the lord in italy.

you go girl.

those were the days.

i came across this photo today. 

it's so intimate.
{and i just noticed that i'm not laying on coats. that thing i'm laying on, that's a person}

i miss this.
