Driving down to Portland seemed like forever!
Today was the longest day I have ever remembered having! It's ridiculous! My cousin, Taylor Ray, was called to serve in the Kingston, Jamaica Mission! Today was his farewell and it was definitely good seeing him making the right decisions with great faith in the Lord! I'm going to miss him so much! :) But I'm so proud of him and glad he has chosen to serve the Lord for two years!
Today was also the day we took P.J. back to the airport!! I had the toughest time holding back those tears that I finally just gave up and they came pouring out like crazy! I absolutely HATE saying goodbyes... especially when my brother has been away from home for about three or four months and only came for a weekend!
I am so proud of my brother. He's no longer a boy... He's a man! It's so weird! hahaha. I love him so much and even though I only saw him for such a short time, it was better than nothing. We were just waiting and having our last minutes with P.J.
Seeing him go through the lines in the airport... and seeing him get closer and closer to the plane... and further from us... Gah! I couldn't take it! I bawled my eyes out! Everyone in the airport kept staring and I just felt totally uncomfortable. hahaha... One guy walked past me with a big smile on his face, saying,"Wow! I love the purple in your hair!! It's my favorite co-" He stopped and looked at me. When he saw that I was crying, he slowly trailed off with his words and continued walking a little slower than before... Hahaha. I felt so bad... :/ But it's funny now that I think of it. :p
Well, the family said their goodbyes and of course, us women cried like no other! hahahaha. Billy Joe was like,"Oh, my gosh... You guys are crying?! You guys ALWAYS cry!" haha. That little brother of mine is so ignorant. :p ... The saddest part to me was when P.J. started crying!! :( Awwww... I cried even more!
I love my family so much! I will miss them when I leave for college December!
Here are a few quick snapshots before departing:
(wish they were bigger, but I didn't take them, therefore, I can't really do anything about it). haha. <3
