Impressions of our first few weeks

Three weeks ago, just after we turned our in our apartment keys, we had some excitement as we heard from people in New York that our mission was delayed. Wrong. It definitely put a downer on the evening as we headed to our "last supper" with our Oregon kiddos. Red Robin, we love you. But we pushed through, saying goodbye to loved ones and realizing how long it was going to be before we'd see them in person. This is harder than we thought!

Graham loves his mac and cheese

We left for Salt Lake City, spending the night with dear friends in Middleton, ID, the Gudmundsons.

Spent the weekend with Kelly & Megan, enjoying conference, and loving spending time with their families. We were also able to attend General Conference for our church, love that Tabernacle Choir (and our wonderful prophet, Pres. Nelson). We were also able to sit in the choir seats on Monday, as we listened to our good friend, recently retired organist Clay Christiansen, play his noon-time concert. I guess having us sit in those seats caused great consternation to the peons sitting on those hard benches in the audience.
