Emotions...

I want to jot down some feelings I'm having. I don't think I will forget them but in the future I would like to read how I felt on Friday, June 24, 2011.
I remember having these same feelings of emotions when we received Quinn's mission call, as well... they are still fresh in my mind, so this is good!
Friday was a day full of inspirations to my thoughts and actions!
I woke up that day and felt a strong, strong feeling Spencer would receive his mission call today!
So before Dave went off to work... which he always leaves by 5:45 am I stood in the kitchen with anxiety telling and asking Dave about what I was feeling. Dave reassured me it was still too soon. "One more week he told me."  Blah.... his answer didn't mean anything to me.
Dave left and I started to do things around the house, my mind just stayed on Spencer's call. I tried to shake my feeling but it wouldn't leave me all day.
The neat thing about all this, Spencer had work off today.We were looking forward to spending the day together. Alexis had youth conference all day Friday and Saturday. We were taking her and her friends. We were to help out with youth conference all morning until early afternoon. Spencer decided not to go to youth conference since he was ordained an Elder a few weeks before.
Well, many people in the Stake knew he had sent his papers in, so the common questions was "have you received your call?" Spencer would reply, no, not yet.
When we were finished helping out, Spencer and I went out to lunch and my thoughts were so strong that he would get his call today but don't go home, just wait. I kept my thoughts to myself.
So I kept on thinking what can we do? I knew that evening we were going downtown for a event but we wouldn't meet up with Dave until 6:00. We kept busy away from home, stayed downtown until 8:00 then came back to the burbs to see the movie. Cars! Honestly I don't even know if I liked the movie... my thoughts were just elsewher and everytime they mentioned a place or country. I thought to myself, Spencer could be going there for his mission. I was so focused on what and where he may be going all day.
Movie ended... went back to Dave's work to pick up car... got home around 11:00 pm. Spencer was riding with Dave and of course I was behind them. When they pulled into the driveway Spencer dashed put of the car so quickly and ran to the mailbox. I pulled into the garage and before I could even get out i could hear Spencer saying, IT CAME, IT CAME onver and over again. I think he was hyperventalating! We were all so excited! Spencer was shaking and we had to get Alexis on the phone.. Wake up Quinn, and Skype Erica and Tony . Call Quinn again, so he would be awake. Well after we got everyone situated so they could here, he opened the lsetter. Started reading and said Albania. Hmmm.... where is Albania????
