When I started this blog 3 months ago if felt as if I had quite a bit of time to get Alecia ready and to prepare myself for her leaving. I was soooo wrong! The time is passing quickly! I will pick Alecia up from college today! She has had an amazing first year of college. She was on the Dean's list the first semester and I am pretty sure she will be this time too. She has worked hard and stayed focused. Now it is time to focus on preparing her for her mission! It won't be long and I will be standing in the airport telling her goodbye for 18 months! It is going to be hard! I am not ready to put her on the plane and watch her fly away! Heavenly Father never said it would be easy, only that it would be worth it! She is going to have an amazing time and learn so much! When she comes home she will be ready to do anything and everything that she wants to do! God will be walking beside her when I cannot! Keep her in your prayers and please keep me in them too!
