Later we called all the family we could find. With all the cell phones (this is what they were made for) we were able to catch almost everyone. We had Mike's parents (on a mission in SLC), my dad (MO), my sister with her hubby and boys (MO), my neice at college (MO), Mike's brother and his family(UT), and one of his sisters at the airport, and her hubby on another line (CO). It was quite the adventure. Isn't technology wonderful?
Jacob said, "I feel like Obama at a press conference!" It was a small media frenzy and we loved every minute of it. I will have to work on the political climate here, he's just to young. hehe
We now have so much to do. He reports to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, UT on Wed. April 1st, no joke! From there I'm not sure how long he will be there until he leaves for Mesa, but we will keep all informed of our progress, joys and sorrows. I didn't think some would want to wade through all my posts about food, pets, kids and such, waiting for a tid-bit about Jacob. So I started a blog just for him and those that want to keep up on his experiences. It is such a blessing for his departure to be during Spring Break for the kids. We are going to see if we can take the whole family now and maybe hit Conference, too. If not, we will have plenty of friends and family to visit and watch with.
Thanks for checking in. Please post comments and if you have been here, we would love to hear from you! If there is enough comments and such, I'll set up a subscription. Love, Jenn =)
