And They're Off Like a Herd of Turtles!

This past week the Gregory family and friends said their "goodbyes" to Elder & Sister Gregory. We laughed, we cried, we cried some more. While Devan and I (especially Devan) are sad to see them go we are so so so so so proud of them for doing it. They are setting such a great example of sacrifice and service to anyone who knows who them. I know that for me personally this whole ordeal has increased my desire to go on a senior mission someday.
Massiel, baby Sophie, and myself drove Garald and Nyla to the airport yesterday morning. The car ride was nice-we didn't cry. I think we were just excited. The journey was about to begin. The next chapter in their life was soon to be one of grand adventure.
Right now it is 9:20 am on Sunday. We dropped them off at the airport 22 hours ago. And here comes the crazy part....ready for it?....they are not even there yet. They will finally get in to Singapore within the next 2 or 3 hours (hopefully.)
Garald & Nyla, we love you. Thank you for going on a mission!!! Last night Devan and I were talking about how great it is going to be when you come back. I thinking HUGE party :)

Here we are dropping them off at the airport:


This one is kind of blurry...but hey...it was taken with my phone:

My New Baby

While my new baby may not be made of flesh and bones it is still beautiful, wonderful and I love it. This past week marked Devan's first week at his new job. He now works for BYU. We have been waiting, hoping and praying for this job for years. I can't believe it has finally happened. However, there was more things than just new employment that changed for us. We had to get Devan a phone and a we needed to get our own truck. I HATE BUYING VEHICLES!!! I can't stand dealerships, car salesmen, and trucks that smell like an ashtray.
But then, a certain truck caught my attention on KSL and I fell in love. Our new truck is a 2006 Ford F150 Lariat. The previous owner took excellent care of it. We lucked out. We found exactly what we had been looking for. Here are some pics.
