Bountiful
All these missionaries bring such neat experiences for our family. Matt went thru the temple today - what a neat day. He was very nervous but we assured him, the moment you enter that holy place...you will feel the peace and be comforted.

MTC
We dropped Jeff off at the MTC yesterday. When we first arrived, the drive was lined with smiling missionaries. It was the greatest sight to see.
It is a very quick exchange dropping off your missionary now. A quick chance for goodbye hugs and a picture and he's off. I felt the spirit of The Work going forward. A warm feeling of the amazing sacrifice these young people make. Jeff was ready and excited. We will miss him but I am excited to hear of his adventures and the people of Wisconsin will be truly blessed!
Two down, one more to go :D

Honored
We survived diapers, terrible two's and temper tantrums (sometimes we still have those, LOL)
We have survived elementary and jr high school. We are currently surviving teenagers, driving and dating. We are at a different season in our lives than some of those around us. We have quiet car rides, Sunday nap time, and great discussions at family home evening. We still have toys, fruit snacks and treats in the cupboard ;) but our home runs differently than years past. We have a few more wrinkles and found a few extra pounds. Some nights are quieter with all the kids working.
Our moments together are savored and treausured. As I listened to Jeff talk at his farewell today, my heart was full. What an amazing young man. I looked around the chapel at all of our children and I felt so blessed. Blessed that family means love, acceptance, committment and joy. Not all the time of course...but that is what is so wonderful. Our Father in Heaven has created this wonderful plan. With family...you have an opportunity to grow, love, forgive and laugh with your favorite people.
Thanks for being my favorite people.
