Happy Birthday to ZAC TODAY!! 

 My nephew who will be leaving to serve in Pittsburgh Philadelphia Spanish speaking mission on February 13th!  Can't wait for his reports and letters.

This morning I woke up and started working on creating a birthday list of family members to put inside Tanner's address book for his FYI.  It's a good thing for a missionary to know - Birthdays.  They may not be able to send a birthday card or birthday wishes because of their limited time and resources, but I think from time to time when they look at that list they will see all the people that love them and be able to think and pray about that family member during the day of their birthday.

A little snippet I took from Tanner's Missionary Portal progress!  This is suggested online training for him before he enters the MTC.  People, we are making some headway here!!

Sorting through Tanner's closet.  Hummmmm, which shirt I should choose for today?

Tonight I spent the evening making food assignments for Farewell Sunday, making a shopping list, and  loading up Tanner ipod shuffle with appropriate missionary music.  Whew....I am one tired Mom.

A little more missionary swag to pack --- Yoda will help to protect and watch over Tanner on his missionary journey -- As Yoda would say "Hmmm.  In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side."  (Yoda has been Tanner-assessorized!)
