This morning Zach and I have been running all over Utah county and the SLC area. My brother Jason, Zach, and I drove to the airport to pick up my brother Garrett. It was crazy to see him all grown up and dressed as a missionary with a missionary haircut. We stopped to visit both sets of grandparents, ate lunch at the new In-N-Out in our area, and went back and forth to Derrick's work (so he could join us all for lunch) before dropping Garrett off at the MTC. My SIL Cassie, sister Melissa, and her little boy Andrew joined us for lunch and the trip to Grandma Eddington's house. Zach was a trooper with all the driving and only fussed for part of the time. It was so good to see Garrett one last time before he left for 2 years. The people in Charlotte, NC will be lucky to have him.
Here are several pictures:
Grandma Jones, Zach, Grandpa Jones, and Garrett
Zach and me with Garrett
Grandma Eddington and Garrett
Zach crashed by the time we made it to Grandma Eddington's house. Sorry,the picture was taken at a weird angle.

MTC backdrop. Sadly with how streamlined the process is we didn't get the traditional picture in front of the sign.
Last look
Bye Garrett! We love you and miss you already!

That is exciting. We will watch for him in Charlotte and take good care of him with lots of dinners if he comes to our ward!
I can't believe he's all grown up and gone on his way! ...I know I'm only a year older than him... But still. It's weird! We're all all growed up!
So good to see Garrett in these pictures before he left. He looks a lot like Alan with his missionary haircut. He's going to be a great missionary!
