We are official

Even though my blogs are out of sync, this was a meaningful day for us and I want to record it.




We arrived at the MTC in the morning.  The instructions said between 10-11 am.   Paige and Eric and family drove us to Provo.  When we drove up the kind gentlemen took us into the main lobby where the first thing we did was get our missionary name tags.  I started crying, of course.  It was a great moment.  Then back to the car and a short ride to the senior entrance.  After a quick goodbye to  Paige and family, we were whisked into missionary life.  Our senior accommodations at the MTC are excellent.  My bed here is better than my bed at home.  The meals are carb-packed, and I am glad that I am leaving soon so I won't gain the Freshman Fifteen, but honestly I can see how it happens.  That is all for tonight.  We are so tired.  We get up very early, work all day, go to bed too late, and start all over again the next day.  I love it.
