Wednesday my brother Joey entered the Missionary Training Center to study Spanish and teaching skills for this mission in Charleston, West Virgina for two years. We spent the few days before hanging out with him and his friends and letting him get to know his neices a little bit more. Sarah LOVES her uncle Joey and is already missing him terribly. Before he left, on our drive back home from Wal-mart she and Joey went back and forth, Sarah saying "Joey" and Joey saying "Sarah", for at least 10 minutes straight! We went to the Brick Oven for a nice lunch before he had to be at the MTC and then rushed over for him noon entrance time. I got the honors of putting his first missionary name tag on him (normally the honor is for mothers, but since his wasn't there...) and then Steven and Michael mocked him for his "dork dot". We all enjoyed the presentation before saying our final goodbyes. Sarah sat on Joey's lap the whole time, I'm not sure he got much out of it! Then a few tears, and he was off!
You are doing so great at the blog thing! (I am not, so far I made a pretty background and posted a bunch of pictures. And even that took me hours...mostly trying to figure out my background ;) But yours is great!
