Guess What.
This Thursday, April 10th, Adam will have been out for a whole year.
A YEAR!
I don't think it's quite hit me yet that I've been doing this whole waiting thing for a year. It feels like yesterday that I was freaking out over his one month mark. Boy am I glad those days are over!
Anyways, for his year mark and Easter, I'm sending him a package!
I'm pretty proud of it to be honest. My creativity skills have definitely improved since he left.
It was both his and his companion's year mark, so I sent double the goods.
Contents:
Cadbury Eggs (of course, it's Easter)
Reese's Eggs (ditto that^^^)
Missionary Peeps (here's how to make them)
President Uchtdorf's "You Can Do It Now" talk (here's the link)
Tie
CD full of church songs
and a little "Easter Egg Hunt of Christ's Last Days"
I got the Easter Egg idea from another blog! You can click here for the details and templates!
I also got the missionary peeps idea from the same blog above. Kayci and I made some sister missionary peeps as well to send to some sister missionaries who are out in the field right now! Here are some pictures:
Thanks to Kayci for helping me with these, they actually turned out!
It's so crazy to me that Adam's been out a whole year. I'll see him in less than two years by the time I get home from my mission!!! :) We'll know for sure exactly how long it will be on Thursday night when I open my mission call.
Happy year mark to my best friend and his companion! :)

That is definitely an Easter basket to die for. I make Easter baskets every year, and one of the things that I do is create baskets for the grown-ups, and the children. The grown up baskets consists of hand made Easter bunnies made of dark chocolate and marshmallows. And I also make sure that I add the pint size bottles of mud slide. I love the creativeness you added to your basket itself, very different.
