Charlestson, West Virginia!!! That's where Michael is going to serve the Lord for 2 years. He enters the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT on Aug. 22.
We had a house FULL of people tonight. It was nice, noisy at times, and extremely gratifying to see all the people who came to support Mike in this. I felt amazingly calm as this day approached. Only in the few minutes before did I get a little bit antsy. He seems to be really excited about the location. He'll love the mission, I know he will. I just keep thinking "Appalachia" and "Coal Mining". I drove through West Virginia in 1994 on an LDS Church History tour. What I saw of it was really beautiful.
It's going to be very busy for us and Micheal as he gets ready to go. But, it will be a good busy.

CONGRATS MIKE!!!! Sorry we couldn't be there. I was up with Kiersten and had to check! Sounds like it should be fun! Keep us posted as to a farewell date! Later-Tyler
So does this mean that your house is going to be Kid free at the end of August???
We drove through West Virginia on the church history trip? Really? I mean, yeah, Mike is in for a great treat as I recall :)
I have no recollection of West Virginia on that trip, either...are you sure??? I guess you were the one driving.
Yay!! Mike totally called it...he swore he would go state-side! We are so happy for him!
Yes, I'm sure. I'm also sure you slept through most of it. It was on the way to the Amish/Mennonite farmhouse dinner. We had gotten into Cleveland or somelace at terribly late hour like 1:30 OR 2:00 and were back on the road by 6 or 7. I'm sure you missed it. It was beautiful. Not a big state, so it didn't take long. A few hours.
Congrats on your missionary! That is awesome! And Thanks for the comment, it's a great song to bad they have to ruin a great song with some foul words. It was good to talk to you the other night! I enjoy reading your blog!
