I have just returned from Utah- and although it really is the scrap booking capitol of the world I did not get to do any shopping at all. I was in Provo to take my son to the Missionary Training Center for our Church- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). He will be serving for the next two years in the Ventura California Mission and I am sooooooo proud of him.
I love this picture of Austin....now known as Elder Simmons. He is beaming! This is right after he checked into the MTC- and you can see how truly joyful he is, the smile says it all. I will miss him a lot! I got home and closed his bedroom door...I am sure that I will open it soon- but right now my heart is a little raw.
In our church the boys go on 2 year missions- they can be called to anywhere in the world. They go for 2 years and during that time I will only get to talk to him 2 times a year- he will be completely immersed in serving the Lord. I cannot even express the joy and the pride that I have in this amazing young man. I am excited to see the changes that I will see in him in the next 2 years and the man that will come home to me.
So now that I have accomplished everything that it took to get him off I am ready to get going again! It is getting cold which means that scrapbook season is in full force!!!
Have a great week-end
Happy Halloween!!!
