Stephenson Family Ties The Barn Burnt Down
And Now I See The Moon

I GUESS ITS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN!!


Its official when the pictures come back looking so spiffy.
You know its really going to happen when you listen to him talk to others about
how excited he is to get going.
Its inevitable when you see him sitting at the computer working on his talk.
It cant be stopped once he's had his official talk with Grandpa.
There's no turning back when he walks himself into the health department to get poked yet
again with another shot.
Its serious when hes in the laundry room pre-washing all 10 if his white shirts.
I know he's determined when I catch him staring at his suitcase with a look of puzzlement
on his face, wondering how hes going to get 2 years of stuff in 2 suitcases.
The writing is on the wall when you see him hang around with the fam a little bit more, realizing full well that this opportunity isnt going to happen much longer.
I GUESS ITS GUN'NA HAPPEN

Ditto to Carly's comment. Are missionaries supposed to look that handsome?! We can't wait to be with you all this weekend. Good luck Elder Stephenson with the final details of getting ready to go!

Sweet thoughts, Cindy. Look at you, with two wonderful missionaries. I envy you the mountains of blessings that will come your way. But I can relate wtih that tug at the heart, seeing your little boy as a man.
Wow, keep your chin up, mom...
