Lincoln waited two days to open his mission call until my sister Hilary and I could be there for the big announcement. He let that envelope sit on the counter unopened for two days. How sweet is that? It was such a fun night with dozens of people there (or present through skype) to support Linc. We all put post it notes on the map where we thought he would go. No one even guessed the right country. After a long wait, he finally tore open the envelope and read that he would be serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Barcelona Spain! Lucky country to get his goofy little self for two whole years. We couldn't be prouder Linc.
I am one proud big sister. My little brother Rhett got home from his mission to Anchorage Alaska today. 2 whole years he has been gone! I didn't sleep a wink the night before. I spent the night checking his flight status and tracking his plane as it flew over Calgary and Seattle and other places. He had a two hour layover in Salt Lake before he flew home to Idaho Falls to see the rest of the fam. So, Todd and I got our own little reunion with him here. It was awesome. We had a little breakfast picnic and laughed and laughed just like old times. We were both surprised the other one wasn't chubbier. Rhett and I are super super close so I'm going to love having him home. All I know is bless the girls heart whoever decides to date him, I'm not going to be easy to please when it comes to him. Luckily, he might be a little too missionary weird for girls for a while... we'll see. Only a few more hours until Todd gets home from school and we can go join the party up in Idaho. Woot. Woot.
