The Journey Has begun

Before we left this morning, we said good bye to one of the missionaries, who has been living with us for seven months. We think he will be transferred before we get back. One of the first things that I said to him was, "I am sure, I will get used to you." He quipped right back "and I am sure I will get used to you"...Well after seven months, we did get used to each other and now we will miss him.

We left Moses Lake at 12:00 thinking we would have no snow on the pass, but we were wrong! It started snowing shortly after we left Moses Lake and was getting thick by the time we got to Ellensburg. By the time we got to the pass, it had stopped snowing although snow was on the highway! Even with the snow, we had a pleasant drive over. We listened to a book on CD and I visited with a couple of my friends.

We have checked into our hotel and will be going out on the town tonight...just kidding. Glenn checks into the surgery bay at 5:30 AM. There will be no partying tonight!

We are picking up our son, Seth, at the airport later this evening. He is representing his siblings, it will be comfort to have one of our children here with me.

Glenn got a priesthood blessing last night which gives us a lot of comfort. We have been calm all day. We feel like Glenn will have a good outcome, but we will still be glad when this is over.

It do wish I could lighten this up a little, but I just don't have the skill with words that my kids have. I know they could make this at least fun, if not funny! At least Glenn found a football game he is happy to watch and I brought some paper work from home, so the time will pass fast!
