The Last week: Part 1

Well it's here, The Last Week: Part 1.( Part two will be after he is gone) I have with the love of my life for two years. It's so crazy to think that he leaves in 9 days. I never thought this day would come. But here it is. One week. I a so excited and proud of him. He is such a great example to me. I know he will be a great missionary. I want to make this week speacial for him. But he also has time with his family so Saturday is my day with him. I can't wait! I want to just give my full attention to him and no one or anything else. 

      So.... I'm going to go a little tangent and tell you a story, Now about a month ago him and I were helping out a friend of ours ( Alissa Lopez). She was doing a scavenger hunt for her missionary Elder Johnson. Let me just say it was super cute. She has balloons and a note at each place. Chance and I were stationed at the Provo Temple. Super romantic :) We got there and sat down on a bench with the balloons and note for Elder Johnson. As soon as we sat down Chance said " I just got really nervouse." I was confused... "why?" I asked. He got off the bench, down on one knee and pulled out my promise ring he had made. That's right HE MADE MY PROMISE RING! " Gabby will you marry me?" "YES!" now, I know what you are thinking " well he asked you to marry him so you guys are engaged." Yes and no, we are promised to each other which is like an engagement, but we are not engaged. Just promised to each other. I'm not planning a wedding, although Pinterest might say other wise haha but Chance and I are giving our selves to the lord for two years,  than to each other for eternity. 

    Now the big question "did you get him a promise ring?" Yes, I got him a promise ring too, a CTR ring. To make it more personal I engraved the inside of it with my nickname he gave me :) Ladybug. I was having a really hard time deciding if I should get him a CTR ring or just a band, But I decided His mission is about the lord not me I want to lord to be his first Priority, I want him to know that I will always support him and think of him. I will always love him. I can't wait for him to go on this adventure. To bring people and himself closer to Christ. This week is going to be hard, knowing that everyday I get closer to saying good bye. Every moment I spend with him will be precious. They will be savored. I love him so much. I am so excited to hear from him, receive letters and send letters to him. It really is going to be a great two years!
