well, i hate to say it but my little brother is gone! we took him to the MTC yesterday and i'm not gonna lie.....it SUCKED!!! me and him are SO close so saying goodbye was pretty much horrible! he is going to the roseville, california mission and he will be such an AWESOME missionary!!! the MTC is a bitter sweet moment. it sucked to say goodbye but i know that it will be the best thing for him! we're gonna miss him SO much! i told my mom that i am not having ANY boys and if i do, i'm leaving the church! ha ha ha! not really tho. i was just saying that just because i can't even IMAGINE how hard it would be to take your son and just drop him off knowing that you won't be able to see him for two years! if i didn't know that the church was true i would have an even harder time with saying bye. i know that austin will do GREAT out there having the opportunity to teach many people the gospel. here are a couple pics from the day of his farewell and from when we took him to the MTC!
here is the whole family except for jared. he was at his grandpa's funeral. :(
