Here we go..

My baby brother is in the MTC as of now and I will see him again in two years! I was able to go to lunch with my parents and Jeremy earlier today, and honestly, the lunch was a good (and yummy) distraction from the inevitable goodbyes. I wasn't crying until he hugged me and said he loves me. I was lucky enough to have 30 minutes before I needed to be into work so I could sit out and enjoy the sunshine (and compose my stinking emotions). I feel a little dehydrated, but otherwise, comforted. He is going to be an incredible missionary and I couldn't be more proud of the young man he has become. I'm excited to write to him and hear about the experiences he'll be having while serving the Lord and His people in Salta, Argentina. I have a missionary blog going for our family here and I will be putting photos, letters, and updates on there as they come. Today, I get to have my tears, but I'm going to do my best not to dwell and just be happy and proud to have such an awesome little brother out in the mission field.

I LOVE YOU JEREMY!!
