Where Does The Time Go??

How is it possible that MY little brother is leaving me for two years in a mere 3 weeks? He takes out his endowments this Saturday, his farewell is the following Sunday, and then he's off to the MTC. Wait... WHAT?? I still can't even believe it. I am so proud of Justin. I can't even imagine packing a bag and leaving behind all your friends and family for two full years! I'm so glad he is willing to sacrifice and serve our Heavenly Father and his children in Utica, New York! {Can't wait to go pick him up and play in New York myself ;)} I'm SOOOO so SO SO Grateful I have a break from school these next few weeks so I can spend some quality time with my brother before he leaves. We are going to Party Hard! I'm just afraid these weeks are going to go by way too fast, and once he's gone I'm going to look back and REALLY ask myself where the time goes. And then hopefully after two years have passed and it's time for Justin to come home, I'll be saying the exact same thing ;) love this kid brother of mine...

I can't believe he is old enough to go on a mission either. It has been a great week with the Temple, farewell and all the fun things we have done. I am glad you got to stay for the week and just enjoy him. We love him and are so proud of him. (okay so I love you and am so proud of you too!!!)
