I don't quite know what to say about the delivering-Cache-to-the-MTC experience. I liked it. I didn't. I was happy. I was sad. I was satisfied. I was overwhelmed. I was thankful. I was left in want.
--------------------------
I had heard the drop off was really hard. So I my expectations of the difficulty skyrocketed. I imagined it being much harder than the drop-off at BYU last fall (which was extremely hard for me). It wasn't as hard as I anticipated; but it wasn't easier the 2nd time around. But it wasn't the same either so it's not a fair comparison. I don't really have words to describe it. I'm feeling all disjointed, as is obvious!
And since I'm feeling a huge lack for coherent words, pictures will have to do!
He was so excited and so ready to go. He's going to be a great missionary!
Now we await news from the MTC from Elder Thompson!

I have been thinking about you all week and wondering how you were doing with the missionary mom experience. Your post actually made me a little teary-eyed. He looks like a great missionary already. You must be very proud! Hang in there Missionary Momma!

Nice to get your note. Funny because I had just read your posts on my "reader" and felt all warm and fuzzy towards you and your missionary. So glad for your friendship.
The pictures of your girls with Cache are so sweet. I'm sure it is a real bittersweet experience. While there is nowhere else you'd rather have him, you miss him and his leaving means change. Adjustment is hard, isn't it? Sometimes I think it would be nice if we could sail through life without all the growing pains. At any rate. NJ is lucky to have a fine missionary on his way!
Well, the pictures made me tear up!
Love the pictures! Love the missionary! Love all of you! Cache looks great and I'm happy for him. Glad he is off and doing what he wants to be doing -- serving the Lord! He will be a great missionary! Love, Mom
I cried just looking through your pictures. I sure thought of you all through the month of June while your blog was quiet - I am glad it was a good month and will tuck your super-great idea of penciling in all the family time away in my brain for future reference.
