Just wanted to let you all know that my brother Jeff just opened his mission call on Friday! He will be serving in the Alabama Burmingham mission and is super excited! He leaves Oct 22. I can't believe that I have a brother old enough to go on a mission, it seems like yesterday that Shaye left on his mission. We all tease Jeff that he's going to come back with a drawl and weigh 300 lbs. :) Aside from his uncanny association with Forest Gump, he's REALLY EXCITED! YEY FOR JEFF!
We just got back from the most fun, exciting trip to Washington State. It was especially fun for me to be able to experience all of the things that Shaye enjoyed during his childhood in the Bellingham area where we stayed is his family's favorite vaca spot. The trip was amazingly fun because everything we did was centered around the outdoors. Every day we went on cool hikes, and saw the most beautiful places. I can't believe how pretty it is up there! It's good to be home, but I sure do miss those gorgeous, lush mountains!
