First, the announcement lowering the ages for missionaries in the LDS church has made a big difference on everyone's life plans. Kyrst and I are planning on giving a new meaning to the term 'sister missionaries' when we leave together this upcoming summer.
I'm sooo excited to go, but sometimes I wonder if I'll come back to find my whole world a different place. Its just normal fear I guess, but its hard nonetheless.
Second, Katie is writing a missionary.
She's expressed the difficulty of writing someone while still in high school. Everyone expects her to give up on him and its hard to find the balance between being supportive and being distracting. I'm sure many of you ladies know the feeling.
We all think he is adorable and are secretly crossing our fingers that they end up together.
And hardest of all, we found out recently that Carli and Brynn will be moving to Idaho with their family this summer.
We are so proud of their dad for getting his dream job as a professor at BYUI, but I know for sure that there were at least five tear stained pillows on the night that they made the announcement. They've promised to come visit at least every six weeks, but change hurts no matter what and we know that things will be different from now on.
We'll miss weekly pool visits during the summer time, and attending Carli's softball games. Brynn won't be able to be my running buddy in our annual 5k race and Pleasant Grove will be missing out on one stellar family.
