....And He's Off





Yesterday we took Andy to the MTC. It all started about 9:00 AM as we took the ride to Ephraim to pick up Tucker from football camp so that he could see Andy off at the MTC. Between Ephraim and Provo we stopped in Nephi just long enough to grab some highly nutritious fast food at Wendy's. We arrived at the MTC, took a few obligatory photos, and did our best to keep smiles on our faces. The meeting with the MTC presidency was uplifting, but didn't quite quell the feeling of impending doom. After we tearfully said our goodbyes, Andy chose to move quickly towards the sign marked "Missionary Exit Only".
