Going on TWO weeks

It will be two weeks Wednesday since McKenna has left (and yes, I have a countdown going).  I will say that it was a lot harder than I expected. That sweet girl added a great presence and spirit in our home, and I miss her terribly. And I will tell ya that her dad misses her terribly also! It has been very tender to watch him. We had a wonderful experience with her setting apart and send-off. The spirit was tangible! As difficult as it has been, I feel much peace and happiness about it all. I know with everything in me that this is the best thing she could be doing. It also helps that she is happy. We have gotten two letters from her and one email. She loves it! I can already see the change in her after a week. It will be exciting to watch her grow even more. We started her blog so you can all get on and read her emails. She is craving letters...so there are 3 ways that you can write her.
1. Standard mail: Sister McKenna Remund
                           SEP09 PHI-BAC
                            2007 N. 900 E. Unit 24
                            Provo, UT 84602
2. DearElder.com : we have account set up. You just have to put her information in which is SEP09, PHI-BAC Unit 24. She will get it the same day if its in before noon, otherwise she will get it the next day. Easy and no postage needed.
3. EMAIL- she will get her emails once a week on her P-day, which is the only time she can write. Her email is mckenna.remund@myldsmail.net

I know she would love to hear from you :-)) Thanks!

As far as everything else...pretty much same. Girls start school Wednesday...much to their dismay. Its only exciting the first couple days with friends and new clothes...then downhill from there :)) My house seems SO quiet! Weird.

We had an INCREDIBLE family vacation in Yellowstone!! We LOVED every minute of it!!! Overall, we had a great summer. Hope you all did as well! I enjoy thinking back on when you were all here. Good memories! Thanks for posting some pictures on facebook Kayla! I would love to get a copy of them all. And a DVD of the family talent (variety) show! Its so important that we do that...especially for our kids! Thanks for making the effort to be here!

Ash & Justin are moving to Salt Lake this week. HUGE shout-out and thank  you to Mark & Angie for their willingness to let them stay at their house until they get established with jobs, money and finding a place. That is very kind of you both, and we love ya to pieces! I'm excited to have them a little bit closer than Rexburg!

Hope everyone is well! I love you all! Take care!
Love, SIS
