If you listened to Conference, there was a talk about CHANGE. I cringed and Kortney laughed at me and said that talk was for me. SO Monday the next change came around- Dustin's mission call was changed. A call from Salt Lake requesting him to report to the MTC on JUNE 3rd!! A month and a half earlier than planned. Wow. He said he would and so a mere 4 weeks after Kendra's wedding and reception, My baby boy will leave home for Russia for 2 years. He and I are both a bit stressed out. I am so excited about this wonderful oppertunity and at the same time- well there are not the right words.
AND-
Kendra is getting married!! in two weeks we start driving to Idaho and it is like pushing a big ball over the edge of a very steep hill. I think it will all come together and be wonderful. It is easy to get wrapped up in insignifcant details and forget the purpose of what you started. Don't sweat the details. Happiness is a way of traveling, not a destination. If it is funny later, it is funny now.
Dustin took the picture of the squirrel out in our yard. It has nothing to do with anything, but I like the picture, and I always like to post pictures!
Kendra made a VERY lovely bride. I dont think she can take a bad picture!
Nathan is a wonderful guy and makes Kendra very happy!
Here are some of the Hinnen girls. From left to right-
Now on to Dustin. We are down to less than 2 weeks before he leaves for the MTC. He reports to the MTC on June 3rd. We went to St. Louis temple last week and had a nice day at the temple.
I am really going to miss my baby boy!!
The reception was lovely and many attended! There is a good cake story that I will save for another time!
And the next day it SNOWED!!
More to the story for later- I am running on about 3 hours of sleep today and work is busy!
Here are some pretty outside pictues from my yard!
After dinner we all walked around Bass Pro to see the sights. Kevin currently is working at the Springfield store doing a remodel job. He makes the lovely trees.
He spent alot of time showing us all his trees!
You can probably see how much everyone enjoys looking at trees for extended periods of time!But it was really nice to have some time together for Dustin's birthday.
Kennady really liked the fish tanks and the big fish. Grandpa really liked showing Kennady all the fun things to look at!
Here is a nice picture of Kortney,Ben and Kennady. Kennady loves going out!
