Playing catch up.. here it goes! (Part 1 of many)

It has been since November since I last blogged. A lot has happened since then, so I am going to try and catch up. One big event that happened towards the end of November was that my brother, Zach left for his church mission for two years. He is serving in the Farmington, New Mexico mission but before he could fly there he had to go to the missionary training center here in Provo, Utah. We had so much fun with Zach and even got to go bowling with him the night before he had to report to the training center.

After spending several fun days with Zach, the day came where we had to drop him off at the training center.

After packing the car with all of the luggage, we hopped in the car to go get lunch for Zach's last meal before entering the mtc. We all decided that we wanted to go get sushi so we drove to find this one sushi buffet that was just opening. When we got there we were the only one's there but we didn't care we were craving sushi!

After eating tons of sushi, we sat with Zach at the table of the restaurant while Zach called my mom,dad, and Danielle (his girlfriend) to say he loved them and then it was time to go. We drove up to the LDS Provo Temple to take pics of us with Zach and say our goodbyes,  then headed down the mountain to the MTC. Taking my brother to the MTC was seriously so hard for me. I  hate goodbyes and can never hold back crying so I was pretty nervous about having to take him, but luckily Garrett was there to help me.

Here are some videos of Zach as we were arriving. (Thanks to my camera acting up there are three separate ones.)

We are so excited for Zach and cannot wait to hear everything about his mission!
