Utah Trip

Well,well we've done it. Our oldest is off on his mission. We all were able to go to the MTC and see him go out the door "Missionaries" and we went out the door " Families". He was a little teary eyed and scared. but we did it anyway. Then we were off to visit through the state. We saw Jan's house that is coming along nicely and love the colors!!!! I asked Jesse the other day if his room was painted yet. It was so funny, that after being with Jesse for a few days, when Josh talks to me now ,I see all sorts of the same manerisms . I could swear the other day I was talking to Jesse. Thats fun.. Poor Jarin. I am so sorry we gave him means to injer himself. Injer, inger what is correct? Sue was next. I love Sue's so do all my kids. They wanted to bring home a new puppy. It only took the rest of the state for them to quit asking. We spent two days in Kanab. It was nice. Randy got really sick and we headed home a little early. What a long trip. Jan and Steve, after I stopped at Sue's on the way home I was threatened with my life by a so so sick husband that if I stopped anywhere else that would be the end. I feel sometimes like I'm like Julie and oblivious to others comfort. I'm happy and that's all there is. So sorry I didn't get to see you more. We arrived home Sat night and Randy Rested all up for work. I caught a little sickness myself and was glad we were home. Then Autumn then Josh.
We recieve a letter from Brandon a couple of days ago. It was probably written the first or second day he was there. "Dear Family, Pray for me.This is the hardest thing I have ever done. I wish I had enjoyed you more instead of trying to finish the book on our trip. " and lots of kind things.I cried. If you want to write him

What a trip. Thanks for the address. I'd better write to Brandon. The letters at the beginning are real boosters. Hope no one is sick anymore. Love you.

DiAnn it was so good seeing you and your family. We are really getting close with Kaber. I cry just thinking about it. Not that I don't want him to go, I just will miss him. Now he comes home every weekend. It will be great though. I sure am glade we got to spend a little time together. It is never enough for me. Sure love you guys.

Don't blame yourself about Jarens poor decisions and that he will have a scar that covers most of his arm for the rest of his life. We still love you.
