I can not believe that the weekend is here and Monday morning we leave for Israel. Seriously it doesn’t even feel real. I’m beyond excited, a little nervous, anxious to get going, looking forward to traveling with Rob and Nana and Abba, grateful that Papa and Grandma are staying with the kids, trying to get everything done and not think of the million pressing things that await us when we return. It’s a most busy time of year.

Sawyer returned home from his mission. He taught Ethan’s seminary class this morning and E said he did a good job and had lots of mission stories. He’s headed on a trip with his parents to see his siblings and family in Utah and Idaho and that will land him in Rexburg on Sunday There is some romance already in the air. I think those two might pick up right where they left off. We shall see.

R had his Off Friday today. He spent all of it doing car stuff and work stuff. I worked and the kids schooled. After all that we went to see Thor, which was funny and fun. Grace didn’t want to come so that was a bummer. 

Hannah and her roommates are going to Meridian Idaho tonight and going to the temple open house tomorrow. She’s been sick this week, however I think she’s feeling a bit better today. 

Mom and Dad come tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing them for a day before we leave.
