Its always hard to see someone you love leave and say goodbye. This was no different. We said goodbye to Eli over the weekend for his mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so proud of him. He is so amazing and wonderful. The kids are having a really hard time with it, Jocelyn especially. Her and Eli have a very special relationship and she has been crying non-stop over the weekend, I'm not gonna lie it breaks my heart. :( Eli is gone is serving our Lord for the next 2 years...then in a few more days we will say goodbye to yet another of Aaron's brothers...Tyson. T leaves on the 10th of November for 6 months to go serve his country in Afghanistan. It will be so hard to see yet another go, but knowing what these two are doing gives me some peace. I feel for Stacey and the twins that have to be away from him, but I also know she is in good hands here with us while he is gone. Nothing gives me greater joy than that, that we will be here for her.
I have come to love these two so much, they are such huge parts of our lives that seeing them go is like watching a brother of mine go. Never easy. I wish them well and many prayers as they head into this journey. Love them so much! xoxoxxo
