Newest Elder

What a great day!

Jake received the Melchizedek Priesthood today.
He's now an Elder.
I'm so happy that Jake has made good choices in his life that have made it possible for him to be worthy for such a blessing!
How awesome it is to have a husband and sons who honor their priesthood!
Our family is truly blessed.

He came home last weekend for an interview and then today for a couple hours for his ordination. It hasn't been bad having him gone because I knew I'd see him on Sunday.
So, when he left to go back to school today he said,
"Well Mommy, this is it for real now."

It's kinda hitting me finally.

Life definitely will not be the same around here.

Chris was made an Elder on the same day! Glad Jake is settling into school well!
