I hope they call me on a mission

We took our good friend Matt into the MTC on Wednesday February 11, 2009. It was a sad, yet happy day, that was hard on us all. Matt is such a big brother to all of us, we're all going to miss him very much. Now I really am the only child! Matt was baptized on February 17, 2007 and got his mission call in November 2008. He got called to the Georgia, Macon Mission.
(Carrie and Tony couldn't come because of work and school, and dad wasn't there because he was on a business trip. that's why they're not in any of the pics.)
Here are some pictures of our adventure out to the MTC:

Um...no offense, but I've never felt like Matt was my older brother. Brother, yes, but older, no. Looks like you guys had a fun trip! I wish I could have been there.
