Saying good-bye in Mt. Vernon

Finals are over and grades are in! Dad and I are done with school for a while. Yesterday afternoon we drove to Mt. Vernon so that Ethan and Dad could leave early this morning. Dad is really excited about the long drive to Chandler, Arizona. He is glad to be spending time with Ethan. The missionaries serving in Mt. Vernon showed up just as we did so we also took pictures with them. One of them is from Morgan, Utah. My Dad was from Morgan, Utah! Small LDS world. Then we went to Fazoli's (chosen by the children) and then returned to Ethan and Lisa's home for more pictures and lots of hugs and kisses. Allyson, Jackson and Julianne will be leaving next week with Lisa and Kristin (Lisa's sister). They will be driving to Provo to stay until the house in Chandler is available. We will miss them very much but are happy that Ethan and Emily and their families will be so close. We look forward to visiting them in Arizona.
