Much has happened since I last wrote! The best of the best retirement parties was put on for Carl and I by Dr. Meadaa and our children --- all ten of them and all of the grandchildren! It was exquisit, wonderful, awesome, supercalafragilasticexpealadochs! There are no words to express our gratitude! All "MY GIRLS and their spouses (from work) were there - so special; and they did all the cooking! Many friends were there, Jan and Jasper were there, many nice words were said, many tears were shed, and a family picture happened. You can't really beat that weekend, I don't think it can be done - physically impossible!
Now three weeks later we are awaiting our mission call any day - so exciting - the place doesn't really matter, but the arrival date is MUCHO IMPORTANTE! Are we going to get all our house ready in time! We are working hard, but there is so much to do! Time will tell its story and we will leave done or not!
I am nervous, I am excited, I am happy, I am sad, I am anxious, I am stressed, the list goes on, but one thing is for certain --- we will go!
Until next time! We love you!
