The big day...He's off to the MTC...gone for 2 years!

It was a very special experience. We had lunch and then headed up to the Provo Temple. We saw so many cars come up, park, family gets out with 1 guy dressed in a suit. Mom's all doing ok until they're asked how they are and then the tears flow! It was so fun to see it all happen.
Fun little shot he took up close. Gosh we will miss him!
Mom and Elder Kane in front of the temple. We took turns with many other families for this spot.
Hayley and Elder Kane. She was a rock that day...no tears at all! Just felt complete peace and was so proud of him. She said there just wasn't anything to cry about. These 2 are so close though...they will miss each other.

Here we are together! But only for a few minutes longer...


There was no time for pictures at the MTC. We pulled in, were directed where to go and in a huge production line, we pulled in while tons of other cars did to. Each car is greeted by 3 missionaries: the greeter, the Mom distracter and the luggage grabber! While luggage grabber gets the bags, Mom gets her hugs and good byes, then Mom cries so distracter starts to do crazy things to get Mom's attention, while greeter wisks your Missionary off before you even notice. Then you are ushered to follow the line & drive out...Took us about 2 minutes to pull in, good bye and out again. I was ok until we exited the grounds then the entire night I cried off & on....he just whispered in my ear..."Mom, it's ok, we can do this"..."I Love You"
