My husband and I are not LDS, but we also believe that marital commitments and family ties are binding for eternity. :-) I admire your son's strength and courage, embarking upon this journey (and your and your husband's too, I can wholly imagine how difficult this is! :-) ) Congratulations on opening this wonderful new chapter in your lives.

I was astonished by how I grieved over my oldest son's leavetaking for college. It’s incredibly difficult, isn’t it? I was astonished by how I grieved over my oldest son’s leavetaking for college.

What a transition. on a different note - We got our confirmations for Chicago. We are very excited. Both of the kids got nearly all of their first choices. We look forward to meeting you and yours.

You're right though, it's the beginning of a new chapter in the life of your family. It's a good chapter though...I've loved watching my daughters grow as adults... seeing what good people they are, and being a little surprised as our relationship changes from mother/daughter to woman/woman (and closest friends). Have a good safe trip... you'll probably be heading through our neighborhood at some point (Colorado). take care...

How exciting to be embarking on this new journey. I still remember well when my brother left on his mission (Munich Germany, 1989-1991). Even as an 11 year old when he left and a 13 year old when he returned I could see a huge change in him. It always seems to work that way. Also, congratulations on the little boys being sealed to you! I have a friend currently adopting two from Haiti and if all works out as they hope we'll be going to Utah this summer to attend their sealing. Good luck to your son!
