Going to the MTC!!

September 29... it's the big day! We are up at dark o'clock to catch our planes!

 Even though it is still dark, we are all ready to go!
 Brother byes! I think Brandon is a little sleepy still!
 Up Up and away!!! Trent is on Delta and me and Kristin are on Southwest!
 But we practiced this when Brandon went and as is tradition... Uncle Dan is there at the airport waiting for all of us to arrive!

Someone suggested to us that we go to Temple Square to take pictures before we drop him off at the MTC.


 Talking to the sister missionaries!

 The landscaping was absolutely beautiful everywhere!
 We checked out some of the statues.



 Here we are in true family fashion... we are perfectly imitating the statue behind us!!! See.... mom is holding baby brother and big sister is looking on!!! We had to have a little fun while we were there!!
 We wanted to send Trent off with a full tummy.. so we took him to Tucanos Brazillian restuarant.
 I HIGHLY recommend this place!!! The food is served a little differently and everything is WAY yummy!!

 Our good friend Sarah and here daughter met us there.

 Oh yeah!!! I just had to show some of the desserts we had!!
 We had a great lunch... but it is time to go!
 Ok... this next part lasted only like seconds!!! We pull in to the MTC...
 Look over on the sidewalk.... the is a huge line of missionaries... TONS of them... they are there to SNATCH away the arriving missionaries... (Ok.... they are also cheering and smiling and waving and taking good care of the arriving missionaries... but they do it VERY fast!)
 We are cheering and waving at them out our window!
 He's out of the car, got his stuff...
 A couple quick hugs...
And he is gone in the sea of Elders... never to be seen again.... well... not really... but we will have to wait two years to see him!! I miss going in and having the little program... but really this way is better and there is NO time for emotions... and all the missionaries outside keep everything upbeat and exciting and fun!!
It was a great day and Trent is VERY excited to be there!! Life is good!

About Me

My photo
Hi there everyone! I've noticed that a lot of people have a little life story on their blogs. So, always wanting to keep up with the latest BLOG trends, I've decided to put on a little blurb about my life for anyone that's interested. BUT, so no one is bored or has heard it all, I've put MY LIFE in ORIGINAL story form... Once upon a time there was a brown eyed girl, born of goodly parents, who set out on a journey. She traveled for a very VERY long time, through desert, mountains and forests and along the way she brought with her 6 wonderful treasures. But, alas, there were dark times, battles and dragons along the way, but she kept on going, with her treasures giving her strength and direction. Then in the desert, she met a blue eyed handsome prince, who had also been on a long long journey, and he had 2 treasures. So as you might have already guessed the ending.... the brown eyed girl and the blue eyed prince along with their treasures and a bunch more treasures, lived very happily ever after! Life is GOOD! It's party time now!
