Celebrations

October and November are full of celebrations. Thanksgiving, halloween, and probably the most exciting for Mason and I this year—Our one year mark. I cannot believe it has only been one year since I met my sweet boy. It feels like I have known him my whole life, but at the same time this year has absolutely flown by!
It took me such a long time to come up with something to give Mason for this special event. Missionaries are complicated! Combining practicality and meaning into one gift that fits into a standard rate box is extremely difficult. Trust me. In the end I ordered him a leather bound journal, and I am extremely excited about it! It turned out better than I was expecting. That was one thing I admired about Mason, he always wrote in his journal. I also included my favourite book of the moment: The Continuous Atonement by Brad Wilcox. It is an AMAZING book. I know I have loved this book, so I figured Mason would enjoy it. The only downside is that I'm not sure how strict his mission president is when it comes to the books they read.
This package had a little bit of everything. Spanish CTR rings to hand out to the children in Uruguay, Nutella—because who doesn't like nutella, pringles, and as many fall/halloween treats as I could pack in the box. There is no better feeling than seeing all the time and effort come together to make a package for someone who means so much to me. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
