Sweet relief. ;)*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06484208765656281917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-21369994207993079792009-07-11T13:39:29.322-06:002009-07-11T13:39:29.322-06:00You got your hair cut!!

Jami and Marivic live in the same town (one even on the same block) so I am going to get to see both of them tomorrow, too! Woo hoo! Anyway, I just haven't had the experience of sending my son out on a mission yet. I surely hope I get to one day.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-45284503213990603832009-07-11T11:40:07.992-06:002009-07-11T11:40:07.992-06:00First...LOVE the hair, second, they ARE perfect wh...First...LOVE the hair, second, they ARE perfect when they are gone, and now, I have had my son home for 3 months (and only on the weekends) and I welcome his job in Hawaii for a month.

I imagine it would be very difficult. I also imagine it would be right. But I know for sure there'll be a lot of tears. But not for another 3 years. For now I love loving him close to home.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-70910256950424230142009-07-09T15:17:37.766-06:002009-07-09T15:17:37.766-06:00Having been on a mission I've always thought a...Having been on a mission I've always thought about the adventure and maturing that happens on a mission.<br /><br />Now that I have Jacob, I can see how there will be a hole in 18 1/2 years when he goes.Lindehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218563136069309204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-77419490284631738582009-07-09T13:25:03.693-06:002009-07-09T13:25:03.693-06:00I have a month before I get to wrap my arms around...I have a month before I get to wrap my arms around my tall son from Africa and welcome him home.
