David goes to the MTC

May 13th Taking David to the MTC. The great and dreadful day. We stopped for lunch at Jason's Deli but David wasn't able to eat much. Breann and Alyssa enjoying their last minutes with Davie David mom and Dad...You just have to love that boy!
Amy and Chace took time off to come with as well.

The famous walk to put the luggage down.

I think he was really excited to get this over with! The goodbyes are sooo hard.




It's official. My son is now a full time missionary. I could not be prouder as a mother. My heart aches that he won't call my phone almost daily and say, "Hi mom it's your favorite child. How's it goin? What are you doin? Okay well I am just in between classes and thought I would call my favorite mom. Love you." So let the count down begin! Go Buddy and serve with all your heart and part of mine!
I love you son!




He is a handsome missionary isn't he?

What a nice guy he is! Aren't the people of Texas soooo lucky? I think the value of that state just shot up...no offense Mike and Julie!

I have such mixed emotions...happy and yet sad.
How confusing.

Oh Boy do I remember being in your shoes. Just remember to breath when the wave of missing him comes.
