Jarrett has received his mission call. He is going to Des Moines Iowa! He leaves Nov. 19. Which so happens to be the week before Thanksgiving. JT left exactly the same time. He said that Thanksgiving in the MTC wasn't that bad. Good thing is that in two years he will be coming home right before Thanksgiving!! We are so excited!! I can not lie though I am a bit sorrowful knowing that he is my last, my baby boy. I will miss him intensely. A really cool thing though is that his mission President was my mom and dad's bishop and Jarrett has my Dad's name(his middle name is Eldon). I think my parents are watching. I miss them so, I wanted to call me mom all Saturday and tell her, this is the first mission call she has not been around for. So to quote a line from "Field of Dreams", which is in Iowa, "If you build it they(Jarrett) will come".

Wade and I went on a 4 day cruise off the California coast. The first day we went to San Diego and we went to a session at the temple. It was awesome. Then we just went back to the boat and hung out. The second day was at Catalina, it was beautiful, we went on a glass bottom boat. I was a little disappointed Doris Day wasn't there. The third stop was at Encinada. We signed up to go to a beach party, no Frankie Vally, I was worried everyone would be just totally drunk. But I pleasantly surprised only a few got totally drunk. We had a riot, I even got Wade to play beach volleyball. The cruise was a HUGE ego trip for Wade cause he played horse and won and totally dominated at beach volleyball. Not bad for an old man.
