My dad has been talking about going on a mission for a long time, and my mom just sits and listens, and smiles, not quite sure she's ready for that part of her life yet. But it's here, and they're gone. With work here being very slow, it's probably the best time for them to leave the business and let Shan completely run it. My mom on the other hand, isn't quite sure she's ready to be away from the family...grandkids' birthdays...our summer get togethers...her parents and sisters...but as she said in her talk last week, there's a time for everything, and I believe this is their time.
On Sunday before they spoke, we had a little family luncheon. Of course the food was yummy, simple, but yummy. Then we had a mini photo session.

Late this afternoon (after meetings in SLC all day) they began their journey across the country. They have to drive so they can take all the stuff they'll need, and also they have to have a car out there.
We are hoping (and trust me, it's a big hoping) that we can go out and visit them during the summer. My dad thinks they're only 50 miles from Disney World, so that's a plus!!
I'm sad that they're gone, but it's only 6 months, and I know they're doing the right thing.
