Mother's Day

I know, I suck at this...but I do have a good excuse:

Josh's first niece will arrive sometime around October 2nd, and I will be the sister bringing this little girl into the world.

Enough about me!!! :-)

After much drama and pen throwing, we finally got a hold of Josh, in Korea, on Mother's Day. It was great to hear his voice and hear him talk. I miss him. We had many good times and I look forward to many more good times. It's crazy to think that one more Christmas and one more Mother's Day with Josh gone. He says time is flying for him and it seems to be going quite quickly for me, which is a blessing.

I am the worldly sister, so we didn't mission talk it much, I had to catch him up on all the unimportant things going on, but my mom and dad had Josh bear his testimony in Korean. It sounded like a neat experience. Tears were shed (go figure). He is loving it, he loves the Korean people and he loves being a missionary. He is serving faithfully and there is not doubt his life will be forever changed for what he is doing.

He did have the chance to talk to our nephew Bridger, which I'm sure was a major highlight for him! Josh was amazed at the conversation Bridger was able to have. He said he is just like a little person. Bridger has changed so much since he left, so I can only imagine how exciting it was for him to talk to him. He'll have another talking nephew by the time he comes home and a niece who will be 1!! The next year and a half is going to fly.

Josh is really excited to have a niece, when we talked he said he knew it was a girl and he just can't wait to meet her. I have promised to have his picture in her room, so that she knows her uncle by the time he comes home.

Our family has been extremely blessed to have a missionary in our family. We are very blessed to have Josh in our family. He is an example to us all and we look forward to Christmas.
