Me either!!! I told Rick it was the hardest thing I have ever done. All day I was just wishing i could text him and see how his first day was. He is going to be an awesome missionary but it was so hard to say goodbye! I love you mom.

No one ever told us it would be so hard and wonderful to be a MOM, hang in there. I hope Hayden will be there in less than a year, maybe by then you can talk and give me tips. love you

Just think, our biggest competition in Texas Hold'Em won't be a threat for two whole years. No more betting with his pants down or going all in before the flop. Finally, we won't be raised a white chip every bet. We need to have another tournament.

Oh Lori! Just the picture made me cry...I have been so worried about you and have been praying for strength for you. You are such a good example of what a mother should be and I look up to you. I will be in your shoes one day and you will be able to give me strength, which I cannot do for you. Just know I love and admire you:)

I knew I would cry.It makes me sad that he will be gone for two years.But I'm glad he is going because it has inspired me to go on a mission.I'm going to miss working out with him.He is a great cousin but he will be home before I know it.

Love,
Screamin E.

You and John have raised a wonderful son! He will make a great missionary and his service will bless many lives including our families. Our prayers will continue with him for the next two years!

We didn't even know about the farwell. Sorry we didn't make it. Blake will be great and time goes so fast. Before you know it you will be saying "I can't believe he is coming home!"

It was pretty hard for us to say good bye too! All the boys miss him. He is such a good example and an awesome kid. We love living by you guys and appreciate everything you do for us.
Love you lots!

Okay! We never know anything. I just went to Cierra's blog and saw that she is pregnant. I can't believe it. It sounds like she can't either. How are things going with the pregnancy?
