the newest couple missionary made it safe...

things have winded down a little bit since my last entry. jared's parents, mickey and steve, left on the 31st of july and have arrived safely in honolulu, hawaii to serve their 23 month mission. we all got together for a big family dinner to see them off. it is strange to think that when they come back my little porter will be nearly four years old... robby and jennie will have baby #6... all the kids will be older, including savannah who will be in young womens by then! it is just crazy. but i am glad that they will have this experience, i am sure it will be one of the main highlights of their lives! i have to admit we are thoroughly enjoying being pressured into coming to visit, and have every intention of doing so. :) aloha!
