Meet Kody.
He's my bestfriend, boyfriend and he is pretty awesome. We met sophomore year of high school in ski club and have been best friends since. He's one of the funniest, sweetest people I know. I could get mushy gushy and tell you more, but this is a blog not a diary haha so I will just talk about this weekend :) March 29 Kody got baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He has a testimony of his own and a desire to follow our Savior, Jesus Christ and I couldn't be more proud of him. He was baptized in Washington, but I was not about to miss it so you know what that meant? ROAD TRIP!!! Friday Mal, Brynn (another one of our roomates), and I loaded up my car and headed 10 hours to Washington. We had ten hours of road trip games, eating snacks, amusing the other cars with our fabulous dance moves, and singing the frozen soundtrack. Oh and how could I forget our fried eggs and key lime coconut patties.

Weather at the 45th parallel...
Pretty intense. |
We got into Pasco around 7 Friday night and celebrated my little brother's birthday. Saturday morning Mal, Brynn, and I headed to Othello (about 45 minutes away) to meet Kody for lunch at a little Mexican restaurant...Casa...??? something haha
After lunch we headed over to the church. It was so fun to meet the missionaries that had been helping Kody learn and that I had learned so much about. He had family there, my family was there, and it was just a great day.

After the baptism we headed back to Pasco with Kody and went to dinner with his mom and then just hung out the rest of the night. It was fun to get to spend some time with him, I don't get to nearly enough. Sunday morning Mal, Brynn and I headed back to Utah!! Were were dead by the time we got home to say the least.
But honestly, it was so worth it. It was such a good weekend, I am so blessed!!

Meet Jameson.
|
Elder Wright in Japan! |
Hes my best friend, and one of my favorite people in the world. He makes me laugh all the time, and is such a happy, sweet person. We met our junior year of high school, started dating our senior year, and here we are today, goin strong, but now through letters and emails. Jameson was called to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to the Japan Tokyo South Mission. After receiving his call, I was lucky enough to be invited to go visit Japan with him and his family and see where he was going to be living for two years! He has been serving for about 8 months, and I couldn't be more proud. Its been so cool to hear his stories and see him learn Japanese, and kind of experience what his life as a missionary is. I miss him every day, but have come to the point where I know we are both right where we need to be. He is busy for two years, which means I should be too! Although I'm still willing to date and meet new people, I cant wait till I can see him again!
