19!

So today is my brother Nate's 19th birthday! How exciting! Since He is still in the MTC I sent him a nice package with a few of His favorite things. Red vine licorice, Jerky, Swedish Fish, Reese peanut butter cups shaped like pumpkins, some pictures, two paddle balls, a memory card for his camera and a nice birthday card. My mom stuck some raisinetts in there cause she didn't have room in her package. But I guess quit a few people sent Him some packages this week. He is getting so spoiled. Hopefully He hasn't gotten to use to this, cause once He is out in Mississippi then it will be really expensive to send Him a package every week like He has been getting. But He is doing well. His Estimated departure date is either October 17th or October 18th. We don't know yet. Maybe we will find out in His letter tomorrow.

Another blog!

I know starting another blog might not be the smartest idea I have had since I am horrible at keeping this one updated. But I figured since it is my brother's letters home I will be able to just log in and paste His e-mails. we will see. but it is called thoughts from a missionary in Jackson. I thought that was pretty clever. So if you want to check out how He is doing you can. Hopefully I will keep it updated better then this one.

Half Way!

Well Nate is at the half way mark in the MTC. It really seems like He just went in. Time goes by quickly when you keep busy. It was killer last week waiting for His e-mail. Our internet had gone down so we couldn't read His e-mail. Dad thankful printed it off at work and I printed one off at the Chases's. Because you really do get so excited to receive the next e-mail and see how He really is doing and how the week went by.

Time Flies!

Wow. It is so hard to believe that Nate has been gone almost four weeks! Maybe these next two years will go by quickly. My birthday was on Friday. So on Saturday to celebrate we went to Lagoon. I haven't been to lagoon in so long. But we really did have a fun time. I think mom and dad were a little tired that night. Pictures to come soon. I just need to find where my camera is. This is what really makes it seem like time has flown by. Abby little sister is learning how to drive and will be getting her learners permit soon, it seems like just yesterday that I was learning how to drive. That is such a scary thought. So when Nate gets home she will be almost driving. That is so weird. Today she went out driving in the church parking lot with dad. My grandma Kay came to dinner to celebrate my birthday. She comes every year. I love her so much.
