MTC Bound!

On Sept 10, 2014 Carter woke up and realized that today was the day! It was finally time to report to the MTC!

After a morning spent with family we all went to Provo to send him off. When we arrived we couldn't help notice this sign and HAD to get a photo with it! Don't you just love his "serious pose"! This sign was just classic! :)

We had about an hour before he was to report to the MTC building so we walked around the temple grounds and snapped a few photos. I LOVE this one of Carter! The temple and canyon in the background were just gorgeous! We lucked out and had wonderful weather! The day before it was POURING rain!

I also got this shot of his hand with his CTR ring. He got it about a month ago and has had to get used to wearing it. He's not big on jewelry, but he really wanted a cool CTR ring and we found this one at Deseret Book. It's black porcelain with silver and he loves it.

When the time came to start saying our good byes it was hard, but knowing where he is going to be the next two years made it a bit easier.

I'm not going to say that there were no tears because there was! Mainly from us (his parents) but we truly couldn't be prouder of this guy! He's an amazing kid and wonderful example! We can't wait to start getting his letters and being able to share his experiences here on his mission blog! Please feel free to share it! We want ALL to be able to read it and grow from it- as WE will!
