Drews big day....

Its called the circle of life. Here is our oldest son getting ready to go on his mission. He's with my mom and dad, Justins grandpa and grandma.

Here is Mark and I with Andrew our first grand to serve a mission.

Liz had the house decorated so cute,

 with a giant map on the wall for everyone to put

 where they thought Drew would go. No on guessed right.

Andrew has been called to serve in the Paraguay

 Asuncion mission. It will be a Spanish speaking, 

bike riding mission. He leaves August 28th for Argentina MTC.

Could not be more excited!!!

Very happy and proud parents.

TIME FLIES ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO WEEKS BEFORE LEAVING.
Liz did an amazing job putting together the open house for Drew after he spoke in Sacrament meeting. Including everyones favorite----- the ice cream maker.

It also happened to be the weekend Becky and Justin got engaged.

THE TEMPLE WAS AMAZING. WE WENT TO THE DRAPER TEMPLE.

I loved the setting apart. Drew was ready, and it was emotional for all of us. Drew was given some amazing blessings, advice and tender love from everyone there.

AND...... just like that he is gone and at the MTC in Argentina, and loving it.

Love you Drew.
