Tyler's "Farewell"

So we got Tyler off and we all did fairly well. We all just were taking and joking until we had to give the hugs and say goodbye. Then we all broke down, except for Tyler. He did very well at not crying I was impressed. So we dropped him off and then we went to Chuck a Rama for my birthday lunch we were all calmed down then we sat at our table and the waiter came up to us and said, "Hello my name is Tyler and I will be your waiter." When we heard that we weren't sure we heard right then we saw his name tag sure enough it was Tyler. We all broke down and cried again. :(  So when we all calmed down again we had to apologize for the way we reacted and that we had just dropped off Our missionary who was also named Tyler. He just smiled and said that's cool. SO now the beginning of the 2 year wait. I just have to get the crying out of my system and then I think I will be ok.....I hope.

 

Tyler telling Bridgette she will be 4 when he gets home.

 

The Big Day.

So tomorrow at 1:00pm we are dropping Tyler off at the MTC and it will be the start of the 2 year mission. It is kind of hard to sit here and think about it. I can't believe it is already here!! I know that this is the right thing and where he is supposed to be but it is still hard to have to watch him go. Hopefully we can get some more pictures before they snatch him away for two years, because that is what we heard that they take them away pretty fast. So here go hopefully it goes by fast.

Family Photos

We finally got our family pictures done!!! I think they turned out great its nice to finally have some recent photos.

 

Farewell!!

So last Sunday the 31st was Tyler's Farewell and it was fun!!! He only cried once!! :) I loved seeing all of our family members. I love it when we are able to get together, see how everyone is doing and catching up. We didn't get any picture we had it all planned got the camera's charged and then it just got so busy that we forgot to pull them out. :( Sad day but everything went well. Lots of left over food that we contributed it out to everyone. He will be leaving February 17th for the Provo MTC, I can't believe that it is already here in less than 2 weeks he will be on his way.
