My sweet DH noticed something last night. There's a hole in our house.
Not the "Call Maintenance, NOW!" kind of hole, but an emotional one. We miss our Elder, and we're all feeling it. And it's only been 34 hours... Yikes.
Now, we are sure he is where he is supposed to be, doing what he's supposed to do, so we'll all be fine. And we are equally sure that he is going to have wonderful growing experiences, and will come back to us a stronger and more confident version of himself. But can I tell you, I hate only setting the table for 7?

Just a Thought...
...our Father in Heaven knows who we are and what we did before we came here. He has chosen the time and place for each of us to be born so we can learn the lessons we personally need and do the most good with our individual talents and personalities.

Chapter 2, page 10 of Gospel Principles
"Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones. Mothers, we acknowledge and esteem your faith in every footstep. Please know that it is worth it then, now, and forever."

Worthwhile Thoughts
Not they who soar, but they who plod
Their rugged way, unhelped, to God
Are heroes; they who higher fare,
And, flying, fan the upper air,
Miss all the toil that hugs the sod.'
Tis they whose backs have felt the rod,
Whose feet have pressed the path unshod,
May smile upon defeated care,
Not they who soar.
from Not They Who Soar, by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

Oh my goodness!!! Heather!!! You really are a wonderwoman. As much as I want my son to serve a mission, I'm just not sure how I can do it.
And your comment was hilarious. Best line of the movie.
Heather, I can't believe he is on a mission and that you guys are old enough to have a missionary out!! We wish him and you dear ol' parents the best.
