I couldn't used to spell "techie" -- now I ARE one!

Amazing! Our daughter Amy gave us a gift this morning -- she has set up a blog for us, something I've always kinda wished I could do but never had the courage to investigate, nor did I think that I had anything of any particular value to share. But now, NOW folks, we are leaving the day after Memorial Day to begin our full time mission in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the Family and Church History Mission. Packing has begun, organization has fled, lists are everywhere . . . you all know the drill! We speak in sacrament meeting this Sunday, and at 5 o'clock a member of our stake presidency will arrive here to set us apart. After which we will have a big family bash with the Kovaches, Burrs, Zorneses, and our sister missionaries. Then Monday we pack up the car (I wish it had expandable sides) and on Tuesday we begin our journey.

We have 2 delightful sister missionaries living in our house and they will remain here while we're gone (for as long as they're allowed). We feel we are leaving our precious home in good hands.

We have lots of friends and family in the area, and plenty of people who have promised to visit and/or look us up when they visit SLC. We're looking forward to that!

Hey, that's wonderful! I'm praying for you guys that the move is a breeze and that getting situated will be fun! I'm thinking of studying Preach My Gospel just to be one with you.

I can't even tell you how much you're going to be missed!!! It shouldn't feel like my own mom and dad are leaving but strangly enough, it does. Be safe on your journey there and have fun working for the Lord full time. The time will fly fast and you'll be returning before I know it, or so I keep telling myself!

I love you and will miss you dearly!!!!

PS...so glad I can call you. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to talk to you for a whole year.

I am ALMOST jealous of you....but not quite. Sounds like you are in the right place at the right time...for you. Now if you can just tell me how to post pictures to my new blog, I would be in heaven. I keep getting a message that says 'technical error,' and all I am doing is browsing, choosing and clicking download....oh well. Guess no one gets to see my great pics.
