goodbye dinner

this last tuesday as a family, minus meghann, add telise (wilsons girlfriend) we went out to eat. our last big hoorah before the boy turned into a full time missionary. we went out to eat a Market Street Grill. we stuffed our faces with steak, crabs legs, and clam chowder soup. the best meal i have eaten since our trip to Hawaii. of course the fun dinner had to come to an end and we went back home, got our sunday attire on and set wilson apart. President Warner gave wilson. Elder Meek a wonderful blessing, of course the tears began. then afterwards the friends came over and stayed till about 2 in the morning.

wednesday morning came so fast. i got up and ready and headed over to my parents. spent the morning making sure wilson had everything and just relaxed till it was time to say goodbye to Telise. that was the beginning of the goodbyes. we all packed up in the car and headed down to provo. i was hoping for a rather long drive but i seemed faster then ever before. we stopped at J-dawg, per wilsons request. tried to enjoy what seemed a 10 minute lunch before we hoped in the car and before you know it we were at the provo temple grounds saying are pre-goodbyes. the cryfest began then and there. we took picture, which will soon be up. then hoped back in the car and entered through the MTC gates. saw wilson best friends divver, another brother who entered the MTC five weeks ago, hes going to germany. we went all the way down the road to number 14. wilson saw so many people that he knew it felt a little comforting that he had people he could talk to when he felt lonely. we got out of the car where his host was waiting. at number 13 the host for that missionary was another of wilson friends and asked wilsons host if he could host him, while that was happening divver was running down the sidewalk ready to greet wilson. we took more pictures and said our last goodbyes and gave our last hugs..for the next two years.

and dont judge me. i have a count down in my phone. i cant bring myself to look at it that often because im closer to 1,000 days than 1.... heres to long 2 years.
