This boy is coming home for a visit!
(On October 1st)
Mike has a pre-deployment leave, and then he will be off to
Afghanistan at the beginning of November.
Eight months later he will be done with
his four-year enlistment!!!

Pomeroy's Men's Store!
Yesterday I had the privilege of
going with Greg, to shop for his
mission clothing. We went to
Pomeroy's on Main Street.
My good friend's father owns the
store, and after years of visiting Michel
at the store, it was my turn to shop there!

Michael Rudd was awesome with his knowledge and help!!!
Thanks, Mike!!!

Elder Romney is well on his way to
being ready to leave.
(And he paid for everything himself!!!)

P.S. If anyone needs missionary clothing, Pomeroy's really is the place to go!!! They know just what you need, why you need it, and they give a big missionary discount!

I'm pretending it's Fall.

On Saturday my mother was baptized.
She is so happy!
It's been a really great experience.

Greg got his call today!
He will be serving in
the Costa Rica, San Jose mission.

He will be reporting to the
MTC on the exact day that
his good friend, Jake Shreeve, reports...
November 18th.

Costa Rica is exactly the type of place
I hoped he would go. It will be perfect for him.

Back to School 2009
Sammy - Preschool @ Mrs. Spier's (or "Aunt Dawn")

Jake - 5th gr., Matt - 2nd gr.

John - 9th gr.,Tim - 7th gr.

I don't remember a summer going by as quickly as it did this year. It feels weird not to have any high schoolers and to have only two in elementary school. And its strange to have the house so completely quiet. But I'm not complaining.

Happy 19th Birthday Greg!
We're so excited...he puts his mission
papers in this Sunday, and his
call should be here the 26th of this
month!
