Chris Update: Address!!

Well, it has officially set in that my husband is gone and I can no longer call him whenever I want to. I kept my phone by me every second of the day hoping that I would hear from him. By Friday I was getting a little desperate to hear from him. My brothers and dad had left for a hiking trip and so I no longer had them around to distract me. Not cool. On Friday afternoon/evening I got a phone call from the ward missionaries for the Lackland AFB. It was so great to hear from someone who had met Chris. Knowing that he was doing well, was such a great comfort to me. An answer to my prayers! She told me that Chris was doing well, got my email address, told me he was playing the piano for church on Sunday, and that I probably wouldn't hear from Chris for awhile. I went to bed prepared that I would probably not hear from Chris this weekend.
Boy did I wake up to a nice surprise! He called me on Saturday morning!! Oh it was so great to hear from him!! He sounded great. He is really loving it. He has been made an Element Leader and is going to be an Honor graduate. He finally knows how to make a bed right. He is working hard and he really likes it. The conversation was short because he just called to give me his address.

If you are a good friend of Chris you should write him because I am sure that he would love to hear from you. I won't get another phone call from him until week 4 and then week 7. I'm hoping that the time just flies by because I'm already ready to give him a big hug and a kiss. I miss him, but we just have to look at this time with an eternal perspective and then it will flash by in the blink of an eye!

On Sunday I got a picture of Chris, but I can't share it on any social media, so you can just take my word for it that he is handsome, even with his head shaved, and he looks GOOOD in a uniform! 

So, while Chris has been gone I have done my best to keep myself busy. This weekend I started working on some sewing projects with my mother. The quilt isn't finished, but once it is I will post a picture. However, I have finished a makeup bag that I made just today.

It's actually a pretty large bag, so I can put my straightener in it, which I am happy about! Also, my final project for my sewing class was a quilt and it is super cute so I thought that I would share it. I haven't measured it, but it is the perfect size for one person, like me! I'm hoping to one day make matching pillows and have it in our living room.
