Alec's Mission Call!

After what seemed like forever my brother, Alec received his mission call! We were not sure when it was going to come, so we waited by the mail box every day...patiently...ha ha! I was at work and received a text from my mom saying that he had gotten it and that we were going to open it in a few hours! Many of our family and friends came over to hear where he was going. Before he opened it we had everyone guess where he was going by writing their name on a piece of tape and placing it on our map of the world. We were all so nervous to find out where he would be serving for the next two years. I video taped it if you want to watch it as well...

Guatemala!!! I couldn't believe it! It was seriously amazing. As soon as he read it I knew that was where he was supposed to go! He is going to be an amazing missionary. He leaves May 26th, and I am going to miss him so much. 

Looking at the map to see exactly where he would be serving.

It was very emotional for everyone...especially my parents. My mom was thrilled that he is going to speak Spanish though!

What was special was that my great-grandmother came to visit and was there for the opening of his call. It was a very tender moment.

Loving life in Arizona

So, I know it has been forever since I blogged, but it is better late than never! Ha ha! There has been so much that has happened since my last post that I don't even know where to begin. First of all, I am back in AZ for good. I loved living in Logan, and miss it a lot, but it has been so nice to be home now. I am so glad to be back with my family. I never realized how much I had missed when I was away. I am keeping busy with a full load of classes and working too. I never would have thought I would be back home now, but it has turned out to be such a blessing. Life is simply wonderful!
