That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.
Truth be told, 18 months is just too long to wait for a reply when texting my little sister.
It's a whole year and a half of holidays with someone missing.
What will the 4th of July be like without Kelsy's annual stars and stripes swim suit?
Mom's house won't look as good at Christmas time... hopefully we have enough pictures to help us remember where to put the decorations.
Oh no, pictures! 18 months of my photography skills and equipment... sorry girls.
I know this is shallow, but what will Christmas be like without Santa's little helper pointing Mrs. Claus in the direction of the really cute shoes, clothes and accessories??
I'm going to miss Fridays where Kelsy was off work and I could hang out with her or drop off a girl or two while I'd go to an appointment. They're going to miss that, too.
When Teah found out that Kelsy would be gone for TWO of her birthdays, she said, "Aw, dang! You give the best presents!"
As much as it's going to hurt for Kelsy to be gone, I'm so glad she's doing this.
Hermana Kelsy Alsup, Texas Houson South, Spanish speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I am so proud of my little sister. I know this mission will be a wonderful experience for her, and I look forward to hearing about her experiences and learning from her example (some more). She will teach my kids so much. They already look up to her, and all their aunts, and I'm so glad they each lead such exemplary lives.
We're going to miss you a TON, Kels! Work hard and don't forget about us!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!
