1 Year and 2 Weeks

Can you believe it?  My missionary will be out for a year officially on December 16...holy cow.  At first, and this is horrible, it was almost nice because he wasn't making the younger kids scream.  Then, it just seemed like he was on a very long vacation.  Now that it's almost been a year, I miss him like crazy!  I had no idea how much of a friend he was, as well as a son that tortured his siblings.  Well, if I drank, I'd toast a glass of champagne...or better yet, sparkling cider...to one year...and one to go.
