The highlight of my week every week comes on Monday mornings. I know that is an unusual statement for a college student to make. But remember, I'm not your average Aubree. Far from it I would dare say. 

No, the reason I love Monday mornings so very much is because I get to hear from my two very best friends in the whole wide world. Raina and Kyle are both serving missions in Florida and Bulgaria, respectively. To say I miss them is an understatement. I miss them terribly every single day.

When I first came home from my mission it was very hard to adjust. There were a lot of thing going on in my own little world that I wasn't aware of. They were there for me when I needed them. Raina understood more than most of what I was going through.

I know that I spent more money on food while hanging out with them than any other friends! We would go buy hummus, crackers, and doughnuts and sit in Kyle's car venting about our days and different people. I miss this so much. I don't have anyone like that within three thousand miles.  

Just being back at school without them is so hard. I can't get myself to go to Roy's Pizza, despite how much I love it, without them. Being here on my own is much harder than I thought it would be. I wish I could spend an evening with them right now. I really do.

But enough of my whining, back to how great these two missionaries are. They continue to be wonderful examples to me, even though I am older and that's meant to be my job, not theirs. Kyles has been out seven months and Raina four. I feel like it's been five million years. 

A saying I would use on my mission was, "the weeks feel like days, and the days feel like weeks." I feel it is even more true that I am on the other side. It is hard for me to imagine my life without them for the next year or so. 

I love these two with my whole heart. I could brag about them all day; however, I need to go do my homework.

Later.
