Love Him!

Okay its been a while. Lets see...I got a package with a tape recording in it for my birthday present! That was super amazing. I have been listening to it every night. Oh and today I just found out that it has more on the other side, so thats exciting :) How did I find out about the flip side? Oh, Matt just told me during his PHONE CALL from the airport! Totally unexpected. He pretty much scolded me before saying he doesn't see why I would care when his flight is, that there is no way he will be calling me, it would be against the rules, blah blah blah. I was actually quite upset after that letter. But then HE CALLED! I really talked to him! It was kinda funny. I was laying in bed, sleeping, when my phone started vibrating and woke me up, I didn't recognize the number but for some reason I answered anyway. So I'm all sleepily like, Hello? And I'm kinda mad that this person woke me up. Then I hear, "Hello, Kaylie?" and I'm like ".....Yeah?" "Did I wake you up?" And thats when I realized, MATT! Honey! HI! I think I literally squealed, haha. He just started laughing at me. Oh my gosh he is sooo adorable! He told me he loved me lots of times. He said he thinks of me a milllion times a day. He said it was crazy being out of the MTC, seeing guys with long hair, and girls in tank tops. He saw one guy with a mohawk while he was talking to me, haha he says, "I feel like a rebel just looking at it" Out of the MTC bubble. He bore his testimony of prayer and building a relationship with our Heavenly Father, and reading the scriptures. He got a commitment out of me to do that every night. He has such a powerful spirit about him. Even through the phone, it really touched me. I'm honestly amazed. So yeah, thats my latest news. And I get to talk to him again on Mothers Day! Can't wait :)

No Worries

I got my letter today, but not before I sent one out totally guilt tripping him about not getting a letter on my birthday week. Whoops :/ Ha I guess I need to learn patience when it comes to getting letters. It was a big, fat, super sweet letter too. Ah I'm in love! Another poor Elder in Matt's district got Dear Johned, and I think it shook Matt up a bit. This guy was totally engaged, with a wedding date set and everything! Poor guy. But I told Matt that he NEVER needs to worry about that with us. I am totally and completely in love, forever :) I haven't had a doubt in my mind about marrying Matthew since day one. I'm soo happy right now! Matt also said that he has a surprise birthday present set up for me, and he was super excited about it, and that he just knows I am going to love it. This makes me so very curious...I wasn't expecting any sort of present from him at all. What could it be?

Birthday Week

I'm nineteen years old! Crazy stuff. It was a really good day. I was really bummed at first, because I had to work. But after I was up there, the boy I was going to be watching canceled, so I got to go home! So I got home, and frosted Easter sugar cookies with my sisters. Then we went out to lunch/ shopping at Tae Pan and Hobby Lobby. There are so many cute things at these places to decorate your house! I cannot wait until I can seriously be shopping for that stuff for OUR home. Then that night my mom took us out to a movie. We saw The Last Song. I really liked the movie, but I really want to read the book. I loved the story line, but Miley Cyrus bugs me, so that put a damper on the movie. Ugh it was a sad one tho. Definitely a tear jerker. Then we got dinner at Red Robin. Yumm :) And today, Sunday, I got my birthday dinner combined with Easter dinner. My mom gave me this learn Spanish computer program, basically just like Rosetta Stone. I'm so excited! I wanted to learn Spanish way bad while Matt is gone, so we can speak it together in our home :) Basically, I love my family. They do so much to make me feel special and loved, and I know they care about me. Especially my mom. She is such a sweetheart, I know she tries so hard to give me the world and make me happy. I love her so much, I don't know what I'd do without her. The Big Bummer of everything tho, is that I didn't get a letter this week :( I'm missing Matt so so much! I'm missing the whole, presents and a nice date and a birthday kiss and having him there hanging out with my family, holding my hand. And gosh darn it I needed to hear from him this week! I guess I sorta did tho...He left me three letters in envelopes the night he left. they said, Do not open until your birthday, Do not open til Anniversary, Do not open til Christmas. So I opened my birthday one. I'll post it up here:
Dear Kaylie,
Happy Birthday to the sweetest of girls who ever existed. Now you might think its silly to write you letters to you beforehand when I'll send you occasion cards while on my mission, but the difference is that I can't feel homesick about talking about stuff when I write them now :) Lets do a recap of all our birthdays together. I think by far your lamest birthday with me was #15 because I didn't even really know about it. Thats ok I don't feel too guilty about that one. The next one, #16 was definitely a step up. I remember it was just after you cut your hair short and it looked so good. Gosh now that I think back, you were thee best friend ever! I was so excited everytime I got to see you :) I can't really remember what we did but i do remember that I got you that thin long sleeved shirt thing. Not my best effort, but hey! I was still a beginner. #17 was probably my next lamest. I downloaded two cds off itunes and put them on cds for you. Though I did think that personalized kids songs cd was hilarious :) hahahaha:) I really think that #18 was my shining moment. Honestly and a little shamefully i cannot remember what I got you. I just remember what we did and how amazing that whole day felt :) I tried extra hard all day to be really nice and sweet. I remember how we went to Goodwood but it was a really long wait so i decided to fill up on Frogurt. Haha and since that wasn't enough, I decided to order a Giant plate of nachos as an appitizer. haha by the time we both got our food that we ordered we were so stuffed. haha pretty smart on my part. So we let our stomachs settle a little bit. Then we parked ourselves at Lonepeak to go sledding. haha man that was some great ice to slide and fall on haha. without a doubt teh best part was our special little dance. You looked so gorgeous in your peacoat :) That dance party was all kind of an on-the-spot decision but it was amazing. I hope your day today is just as special. I hope you enjoy Alice in Wonderland. I love you so much forever and always :) Mmmmmwaa!
Love,
Matt

Okay, so I appreciate that, but I hope he didn't think that would count as a letter for my birthday week! It's super sweet that he does remember all of that tho. I love that we have that many years together to recall! And there is an eternity of more still to come! He just has to miss these two. I can deal with that. Okay now that I vented I am feeling much much better. And I'm glad I typed that letter out. It made me appreciate it more. Mm I love him so much!
