i'm a missionary girlfriend

in case you hadn't caught onto that over the last 14 1/2 months (say whaa?!). but this is not a post about my missionary and how much I miss him and how proud I am of him (although I totally am, he was just called as zone leader!!) this is about the friendships i've made through this journey. and if you're already rolling your eyes at the cheesiness of this post, read no further. cause it just gets worse ;)

for those of you who are unaware, there is a whole community of girls AND boys from all over the world who are waiting for missionaries. and its kind of amazing. there are more than enough people who look down on us saying things like "you're just wasting two years of your life for someone you won't end up with." we've all gotten it and we all say think the same thing which is "just wait till i prove you wrong." and sometimes, they don't end up together, sometimes they do. which is the reason for this community. it's a group of people who support and love each other while we're all going through the same thing. where you can complain about missing him all you want without having eyes rolled at you.

along the way, i've met some amazing girls. some in person, some just over facebook. but i love all of them, we're all connected through something special. a handful of them i know that i'll be friends with them for a long time and i'm so blessed that i had them to share this journey with.

i've shared this quote before but i'm doing it again cause its appropriate.

so this is a shout out to all those lovely ladies who i've come in contact with and have shared experiences with. i love you all!
