Here I go! I am ready!

Wow! what an exciting, yet emotional day.  Today we said goodbye to Weston for the next 2 years while he serves a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  The day was great....Well except for the teasing that Tim and Zachary were doing which was getting on Weston's Nerves!  WE had plenty of time to visit the Provo Temple grounds and have some pictures taken.  We then went to eat some Authentic Mexican food, and still had a 1/2 hour to kill.  We spent it by remembering Weston, and what we will miss the most about him.  The thing I will miss most about him is....well, HIM! but I know that he is in the Lords hands and he will take good care of him.  Here are some pictures of the day.  When we dropped him off, there were other missionaries waiting to escort him to where he needed to go.  I had such a lump in my throat I could hardly talk, and I didn't want to break down and sob, so I couldn't talk.  The only words I could manage out was "I am so proud of you" and "Hurrah for Israel!"  as he was walking away.  The funny thing is, he left his scriptures in the car, so we had to turn around and go through the MTC parking lot again, which was almost harder than the first time.  Yes, I admit, I did cry most of the way home, but they were tears of joy for the son who had reached the top!  Who had worked so hard to get there, and go through trails more than most!  am I sad? yes, I lost one of my best house cleaner, the rule enforcer, the "I can always count on you"person.  but am I glad? YES! It gives me so much joy to know that my son is serving the Lord.  I have always wanted my children to serve the Lord all their days.  I have prepared them, and taught them to love the Lord, and now to see my labors come to pass, words cannot express the joy that fills my heart!
