For Jason!
On Wednesday February 15th we dropped Elder Jason Stults off at the MTC for his mission to Sofia, Bulgaria.Jason is the first of my brothers to go on a mission and dropping him off was a little rough for us! Tavan and Jason have an awesome relationship and Tavan was not OK with him leaving. Whenever I have needed anything, and Ricky hasn't been around to help, Jason has been there for me. When he first said he put his papers in to go, I was OK with it because "we really aren't 'THAT' close"...little did i know that we are a lot closer than i thought. Im doing pretty good, but it has only been a week and he is still in Utah. We will see what happens when he gets to Bulgaria!
My family had a big get together for his farewell and it was fun to get to see everyone. Here are some pictures leading up to the big event!!
On January 28th Jason went through the temple for the first time and Ricky, myself and Tavan went with( well Uncle JoD watched Tavan while we went through).
all of us that went with him
The Morgan Family :)
Next up was "the big event". Before church on Sunday, everyone got together for some family photos.
The "Originals"
right before the photos someone mentioned that every time we take a big family photo one of us is pregnant....so Dimitri stole the spotlight for just a moment....
Everyone that came. All of us kids (with spouses and kids), the Stace and Jan Duval family (minus Dylan), Grandma Dena and Regina Stults
My favorite picture from the whole weekend....Jason and Tavan. We printed this one out for both Jason and Tavans room. Tavan looks at it daily and loves to point out Uncle Jason
and of course one more of my cute little family :)
after church we had everyone at my moms for some food and played some games while we visitied before everyone started to head home. Because I wasn't working, I was able to go with some of my family on Tuesday to Provo, to drop Jason off on Wednesday.Tuesday night we all went to dinner at Tucanos. It was Valentines day so I got to have a dinner date with Tavan and my family. I think I had the cutest date in the whole building! He even gave me the rose that the waiter handed to him :)
Wednesday morning went by so fast and before we knew it, we were loading up in James' Rental car and taking Jason to the MTC
just moments before.....the drop off committee
Tavan and I, Jared and Jenny (Tim Duval's twins that are Jasons age and going to school in provo)Jason, Guy, Cindy, James and Grandma Dena
My last actual hug from Jason for two years!
Tavans hug...
while we drove off Tavan continued to call out for "Jason, come back here" until he fell asleep. It broke my heart and it was the hardest part for me :( Luckily he hasn't been saying it much anymore, but i know that he misses him!
we are pretty excited for Jason and all the experiences that he is going to have in Bulgaria!
