What a day!

Today was a bitter-sweet day. We dropped off my little sister Megan at the MTC. Oh the tears! I am a total mess. One minute i'm crying because I am so happy for her, another minute i'm crying because i'm sad she is leaving me, then I cry because I am so proud of the decision she made to serve a mission and I also cry because I am mad that I will have to go a whole year and a half without seeing her. Crying is okay sometimes right? Needless to say I mostly am just proud of her and excited for her. She is such a special girl and I know she will have a wonderful influence on the people of Albania! She is full of spunk and up for the adventure. I have no doubt that she will do and amazing job and that this will shape the rest of her life in such a positive way. Here are some pics:

THE MTC:

After we dropped her off we went to P.F. Changs for lunch. On our way out my mom mentioned that it would be a perfect day to go visit our new puppy Mack since we were sad. Puppies are a great "pick-me-up." It didn't take much to convince me since I have been dying to see him again anyways. He is only 5 1/2 weeks old right now so he won't be ready to leave his mom for another 9 days. It seems like so long to wait! I am so lame I know.

When it was time to go I put Mack in his puppy box with his brothers and sisters. All the pups fell right asleep...except him. Instead he sat and looked at me and cried! It was so cute. I really hated to leave him but we will get to bring him home for good soon!
