3 days down

We did it.  We took Owen to the MTC.  I can't say that I enjoyed it at all, nothing about the day was fun.  And the last 3 days have honestly been terrible.  I am praying that he is happy and not homesick, because we are sure missing him.  I know all the cliche answers and in my heart I do know he is where he is supposed to be and he's doing the right thing, but it still sucks, and I still actually hate it right now.  I am hopeful my outlook will change, but for the moment, I hate it.  He emailed a little blurb saying he was there and fine 30 minutes after we drove away, but I haven't heard anything else since and I am dying.  I did receive a huge blessing today though and I had a couple pictures texted to me from moms of friends that are also in the MTC right now.  Owen was excited to see friends that had already left for their missions.  I am excited to start hearing awesome testimony building stories, but tonight I am sad and I miss him terrible..............
On Tuesday, the day before he left, I took the day off work and we went to the temple and to lunch together. 

We stopped for breakfast on our way to Provo Wednesday morning.

 His first companion is a kid from Fremont.  They actually have played football together for the 3 years of high school.  I guess that is a little comfort of home.
