OK…so I am WAYYY BEHIND!! This should have been posted in
March, but life happened. So here it
is..9 days before she leaves..
My baby sister got her mission call. I have quite the mixed feelings about her
going on a mission. We had friends and
family over on March 8th (2015) for a “opening party”. Grandma and Grandpa Jackson, Grandma Karen,
Jaden & Julie and their family, Kenny, Jason and their family, Meg, Miles,
Bryson, Jared and Shelly and their kids all came. A bunch of people that Allie knew also came
to the grand opening. At 3PM we ate
Mexican Hay Stacks (just the family) and then we waited for people to roll
in. We had Krey and Brandy’s family as
well Amy Rojas on a “skype” call. Then
the moment came. Allie read her mission call
and she says “NICARAGUA MANAGUA SOUTH” mission.
WHAT!? I instantly look at Devin, who’s behind me while I’m videotaping,
and I see his eyes looking back and forth trying to figure out what the heck is
happening. Then he screams like everyone
else. Why is this so important that I
look at him? Well, that was the exact mission that he went to. How the heck did that happen?! Out of all of
the missions in the world, plus all the Spanish-speaking missions (we knew she
had to go Spanish..) HOW DID SHE GET CALLED TO HER BROTHERS MISSION?! Now that we are 9 days away…I am seriously
just numb. Devin is soo excited for her to go to the country that he loves just as much as America. I of course, am still numb. Allie and I fight
and we don’t agree on everything, but she’s my baby sister. I will always love her. She’s been my best friend since I was 2. That’s a long time to have a best
friend. I know that next Wednesday I will
BAWL. Its going to be bad. I will bawl. And I will bawl. And I will
bawl!! Im not looking forward to
it. But I am looking forward to the
adventures that she will have. I keep
saying hopefully I’ll have more time to post and this time I think I mean
it. And I’ll let you know why in my next
post. BUT for now: Felicidades Allie. Estoy muy orgullosa de ti J Devin y yo te amamos y
te esperamos lo mejor. Yo se que tu vas
a hacer cosas increibles.
