Seriously?

Seriously, when did this happen???

Scott and I went to the photographer's yesterday to have his picture taken. Wow. I haven't been teary or nervous to have Scott go on his mission. In fact, I have been quite excited about it. We have been having conversations about my mission, and it has been fun to reflect on the things that happened to me, and possibly may happen to him. I guess I am a little nervous in some ways because I know the things that could happen to him. Much worse things happen to Elders than Sisters!

 

When I saw this picture of him on the preview screen of him holding his scriptures, it was the first time I got........um.......well.......hate to admit it...... tearful.

 

I am very excited for him to be leaving on an adventure that will change his life in many ways. He told me several months ago that the only thing he really wanted to do was go on a mission. I know what my mission did for me in terms of defining my testimony and making some lifetime friends. I only hope that he will have the same, if not greater, experiences that I did. So, Scotty, if you are reading this. I am SO proud of you and so honored to be your mother. It seems like you were just a little boy, and I think that's the hardest part of letting you go. It really did go by "so fast".
