Ranch Trip and Garretts Fairwell

seth finally meet me in cali the second week i was home. it was hard to be away from him for a whole week. seth garrett and my dad went to the Hat Creek family ranch for one last boys weekend until garrett left for the MTC. they did what every boy does shoot lots of guns and small animals like marments. oh and they also fished and i think seth was the only one who caught a fish.

while the boys were at the ranch me michael alyssa and mom started getting things ready for garretts fairwell party. on sunday  alot of family came up for garretts talk. he did a really good job!! after church he got seat apart as a missionary! later that night we had lots of family and friends come to the house to say good buy to gman. it was a very emotional day. on tuesday mom me and seth flew out here to utah. during the day we went and finished getting the last things gman needs for his mission and on wedsenday June 1st at 1:15 we took him to the MTC. it was really hard not to get emotional but i tried to keep it together for mom. seth was really good at distracting us after garrett left. i hope and pray that garrett will learn the language fast and be safe in peru. im excited for the experiances he will get and the blessings he will recive! and of course i cant wait to see him in 2yrs when he gets home! ( its wierd to think that garrett wont meet his nephew until he is 1 1/2 yrs old)

WE LOVE YOU ELDER PENNEY GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
