And he's off!

Only the most dedicated fans made it to the KFalls airport at 4:30 a.m. to see Brian off. But for those who showed it was well worth it watching him navigate security like a pro. Janelle picked Brian up in SLC on Monday. She and Kim gave him a whirl wind tour seeing family and friends before dropping him off at the MTC today. Last night we Skyped with Brian and he told me to take a mental picture...I'm not so good at that so I took this video snap shot. Farewell Brian!

What was I thinking?

So we have spent the last five months helping Brian prepare for his mission. This included a lot of thought and careful planning. We even packed all his luggage early so we could send it out to Provo with Kim and avoid the airline baggage charges. So all he took with him was a nice little carry on...full of contraband. What was his mother thinking? Poor Brian was so flustered as the airport securty officers dug between packages of gummy worms and underwear pulling out one bottle after another. Funny thing, when you are in the KFalls airport they don't throw your stash away. They just bring it out to your mom. "Are you with the gentleman in the suit?" I collected them all...one bottle at a time!
