Mom & Dad went into the MTC on June 22, 2011. Of course we were all at the house that morning to see them off.... there were more than a few tears shed... I think at that point in time is when we realized that it was real. We were really gonna have to go 3 years without seeing our parents. Even though we knew we'd be seeing them on Sunday, it was still so hard to say goodbye, because it was the first step. It was like ripping the band-aid 3/4 of the way off.
Jen & I saying "goodbye" to our hero
Mom decided it was a good idea to tell us to smile.... yeah.... that wasn't easy! Good thing we both have hats and sunglasses on to cover our red, swollen eyes.
The night before they left, we all hung out in Dad's office in his house dividing up miscellaneous gift certificates, etc. that he had collected and never used. It was thoroughly entertaining! I couldn't resist putting these up, it just shows our family dynamic so well!
Just remember Jen & Mikey, I'm the "responsible one" :)
