Last night he was set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After he's set apart, he's to abide by the missionary rules {no being alone with the opposite sex, no inappropriate physical contact with the opposite sex, etc} So as we walked out to my car to go to the Stake President, we were both sobbing. We stood next to my car and kissed through our tears. Here was this strong boy, one who never cries, and he was sobbing because he knew we would be apart for 2 years.
Quietly, he took my face in his hands and said, "This will be our last kiss, ok?"
LOST IT.
I was crying but I tried to pull myself together as we entered the Stake President's office.
As soon as that responsibility as a missionary was put upon Dex, I felt a great peace. I knew the future would be as bright as my faith. I felt peace that Dex would be okay and these experiences that we're gonna go through together will only strengthen our relationship.
There are going to be really hard days and then there will be days where I can make it through. Take the good with the bad. I can do this.
It's not goodbye, it's see you later.

Kellie! What a great outlook you have! You're right...the experiences you BOTH are about to have will bless you together and individually. The Lord needs you and your willingness to let Dex go, as well as willing to serve yourself will be points of obedience that the Lord can't ignore! Hang in there, sweetie! Good things will come. They always do. ♥♥♥
