Crazy (But Wonderful) Weekend

This last weekend started out busy with a family wedding reception Friday night then, another family sealing, luncheon and reception Saturday night. But then it quickly turned crazy!  Friday afternoon my mom got a call from their Stake President with news that he had been able to change my brother's report date to the MTC...which was five days away.

Thankfully we were all equipped to just stay with my parents another night and help put together a very impromptu farewell on Sunday. My brother gave an incredible talk and it turned out to be a very nice day.

Tuesday night we were able to head down again to be there when he was set-apart as a missionary and celebrate his birthday which happened to be that day.

My parents dropped him off at the MTC yesterday. My "little" brother is one of the most incredible people I know. We will miss him, but know he's where he's supposed to be!

I'm sad we didn't remember to take a picture of all us siblings together before he left... but this one is pretty good too... Brian in his element. :)
