Farewells

Man on man this is a sad one.  Of course we are thrilled for Brayden to serve but man oh man are we going to miss him.  On his last Sunday he gave a beautiful talk at church and many friends came to show their love and support.  Brielle also spoke and it was a wonderful meeting.  They both did so great. That evening we had an open house where friends and family came to say goodbye.  I didn't take many pictures but there were lots of people there and it was a good time.  My Peterson cousins came from the area and the Grigor boys and lots of ward and stake and even school friends, like Caleb Redman.

There were a few other special goodbyes like to the Schaaks and then Monday we set off early for the airport

These are all missionary mommas right now.  We are all in this together! (Sacia Thornton- Tylers mom, Cori Allan- Ammons mom, me, Kara Schofield (Adam's mom) and Melissa Neddo (Riley's mom)

A last Culvers family dinner, where the highlight was the guy who brought us our food said bonjour- trying to speak french... it was pretty funny.

Captured precious family time

And then on to the airport.  Cry Cry Cry... it was tough for all.  Grandma and Grandpa were still in town so that was nice.  Grandpa took it upon himself to film Brayden going through the entire security line- for like 20 minutes... priceless footage... hahaha

break my momma heart

The last family pic for two years.

Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandpa wants it to be noted that he was wearing the handkerchief because he was using it as a mask cause you know covid is still a thing...
