The asking and answering

Kaden asked Reigan Decker to Commencement.  He filled her car with shredded paper, balloons and a poster board with this saying...Sorry about the mess, I hope your answer is yes, so I can take you to the dance at RHS, so pop the balloons and take a guess, Of who gets to see you in your green dress.  Creative huh.  I should say that Rachel, Sha'Nell and Hailey came up with everything and did all the work.  Kaden was fishing.  Anyway this is Reigan answering Kaden back.  She hauled in a huge chalkboard and then her and her friend Alisha tried drawing her.  Dave and I even got into the drawing and we discovered that we are not artists.  Dave still claims he is but not so.  Reigan is much cuter than the drawing we came up with.  On her drawing she said you didn't even have to "chalk" me into going to the dance with you.  She then put Easter grass and candy all over his room.  I told her she did not make it near messy enough compared to what her car looked like.

My "A" is filled

Well my "A" is filled it has been 4 months today since we dropped Brenan off at the MTC.  I am not feeling the same as when my "C" was filled.  He was still in the MTC and things were pretty boring.  I love having him out in the field and receiving his letters weekly.  It is so exciting to hear of all the things he is doing.  He has already had great success and had 3 baptisms at the end of March.  They have a couple more scheduled for the end of April which is hard to believe because they just tracted into them a few weeks ago.  I am loving having a missionary out again and I forgot how exciting and fun it is.

A call from Dalton Georgia

Yesterday when I got home from church I was working on dinner.  I got a call on my cell phone with a 716 area code so I answered and there was a little southern voice on the other end.  She asked if I was Sister Robison I told her yes.  She said this is Sister Anderson and I just fed your son a "greenie" meal.  She said when she gets new missionaries in her area she loves to fix a greenie meal.  She makes everything green for them.  She said he was a wonderful young man and is going to make a very good missionary.  I talked to her for a little bit asking about her family.  She has 6 kids, her oldest daughter died a few years ago most of them live close she has a daughter in Utah and two sons who are 27 and 29 still living at home.  She is a grandmother and great grandmother.  She lives in the Dalton East area so that is the area Brenan is in.  While we were talking she said well one of them is back at the door.  It was Brenan of course he had forgotten his camera.  I told her he would forget his head if it wasn't attached.  She said he was smiling from ear to ear.  I told her to tell him hi for me.  What a great thing to get to hear from people who are taking care of my missionary.  He looks happy and good.  Her son emailed me these pictures.  I so appreciate them.

FUNNY.......If you need a good laugh then watch these videos.

We went to see the progress on the cabin and Dave gets the smart idea to put on snow shoes and go down to the lake to get pictures of the back of the cabin.  Alli just happened to have her camera and was videoing him trying to get up the hill.  This is what she caught.

Thanks for the Support

I have just got to tell my family how much I love and appreciate them.  I asked for letters to send to Brenan and the support was amazing.  Our family is so great at supporting and helping each other.  I just want you all to know that I love you and am so thankful for all of you.  Your the best.  Thanks a ton!!

OUCH!!

Matt was trying to pull a sheet of metal out of the back of the pickup.  It wouldn't come so he pulled harder and this is what he got for his hard work.  It came out and hit him in the face right below the eye.  He ended up with 12 stitches and is very lucky it did not go in his eye. 

My "C" is filled

Yes my "C" is filled.  Finally!!!!!  These calendars look so blank when you first start that it is a little depressing.  We fed the missionaries the other night and they made fun of my calendar calling me a "trunky mom"  meaning that I want him home, I guess, or maybe they were saying "chunky mom".  haha  I have been struggling with Brenan being gone.  I think it is because he is still in the MTC and I hate to say it but it is a little boring.  Nothing real exciting to write about.  I am excited for him to get to Tennessee and start his missionary journey.  He is ready to get to Tennessee also.  He was supposed to leave on the 16th of February and they made a mistake and it is now the 22nd.  He is well on his way and we are moving on to the "A", yay!!!!
