Technically only 6 more days, but who's counting right??? I know I've already said this, but I SURE am Glad I had this break from school to soak up EVERY MINUTE with my brother! I have had thee best time with my Justin J. I think he's a total stud, and judging from his farewell so does the ENTIRE TOWN OF REXBURG! People just kept coming, and coming and coming! So a HUGE thanks for all who attended his farewell and dinner party, it meant so much to him being showered with all that love and support.

Since I've been home, I feel like my summer has finally started! Justin sure knows how to have a good time! I think I've forgotten the meaning of FUN, spending the last year and a half in school and all.... But Justin has put me right back on the FUN TRACK. We've been floating, to the dentist, TWICE {call me crazy, but I call that fun} shopping, bike riding, jogging, driving to Boise, playing games, watching movies, cooking, sand dunes, huckleberry picking, splash parking and carousel riding... YOU NAME IT, we've done it! I feel like for the first little bit Satan was working Justin and our family big time. It's amazing to see how much he doesn't want my brother to go on this mission and he will try anything to stop it. BUT The Eaton Clan just fights right on back!

(We didn't get everyone who was there in the picture, woops)
Justin went through the temple last Saturday and I was SO PROUD OF HIM! I saw Linda's mom {my sister in law who recently passed away} and Step dad in the temple, and Donna commented on what an accomplishment it was to have all the family in the temple at the same time and how impressed she was. And as I sat back and looked at all the family that was there, it really was overwhelming. The spirit was so strong and it added a whole new level of love in our hearts for Heavenly Father and the plan he has for each of us.

I don't know how many times I've heard this in the past week, probably two million times. But it's true.... JUSTIN EATON IS GOING TO BE THE BEST MISSIONARY OUT THERE! I hear over and over again how much of a people person he is, and how amazing he is, and how the people of Utica are just going to fall in love with him, {just like all the girls here in Rexy town hehe} But it's amazing how my little brother has made such a HUGE impact on this little town of Rexburg. From the kids he went to school with, to the kids he coaches at the gym, he truly has touched the lives of many. With many more lives to come! I Could go ON and ON and ON about my brother, I guess it's just starting to really hit me that he's leaving, For Two full years... There's going to be a huge hole in our family while he's gone, Justin just completes our little fam. BUT He's off to bigger and better things and will be back before we know it...

someone tooted SUPER loud in Sunday School...HILARIOUS! We simply HAD to take a picture, inappropriate we know, but this was something we didn't want to forget ;)
