Nat's last night was spent eating her favorite dinner (gyoza, fried rice, and veggies with cheesecake for dessert) and getting in as much time as possible with those cute nieces and nephews of hers.
We also had a fun fhe with her and everyone shared a piece of advice. Some classics were "don't forget to go to church" or "wash your clothes" or "just swallow, don't chew". Definitely going to help her out!!
While we were waiting for the stake president to come over to set her apart they snuck in some "just dance".
While this cutie watched. He is always in this outfit--so hilarious!
Kathryn helping feed one of the twins while we were waiting.
Natalie was given a wonderful blessing. It was so neat to listen to the promises made to her and to have most of the family gathered around her. I love that my kids were able to see this and be apart. What an amazing experience.
And we figured out Seth is the next oldest so he will be the next one to leave on a mission. So crazy!!
Afterwards there were a few tears,
some kisses,
and lots of pictures! Nat with our brothers.
With the guys who helped set her apart.
Sisters and sister-in-laws that were able to be there. We were missing two of my sisters but it was so good to be with Natalie and share this wonderful experience with her.
Early the next morning (I mean early) we woke up (a few of us anyway) and headed to take her to the airport. Here we are waiting for her to go through security. After quite a few tears and a sense of excitement she was off!
Congrats Nat we are so excited for you and for your adventure!
