ANNA'S MISSION CALL

 
ANNA RECEIVED HER MISSION CALL TO THE
SAN FRANCISCO / OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA MISSION
 
SHE REPORTED TO THE MTC ON 4-24-13
SHE WILL SERVE THERE FOR 18 MONTHS.
 
WE HAD A HOUSE FULL OF FRIENDS,
COURT ON SKYPE ON THE PC, MACEY ON SKYPE IN RENO, COLEMAN ON THE PHONE, AUNT JULIE IN CALIFORNIA AND HER BEST FRIENDS ON OTHER CELL PHONES.  IT WAS QUITE A PRODUCTION TO GET IT ALL SET UP. 
 TALLY BROUGHT HOME FLOWERS!
 
A FEW WEEKS LATER WE WENT TO THE SAN ANTONIO, TX TEMPLE
 
It was a beautiful night full of wonderful instructions and blessings.
 
There is a special bond that occurs when a Father has a Daughter.  Hopefully our girls will find  companions that have similar qualities of their Father.
 
Anna's two best friends, Michele & Karli, came to visit from Vegas. They stayed a whole 5 days and did everything Anna could think of that is special here in Austin, TX. I think most of it involved food trucks, rivers & live music.  It was so special to have Grandma Lama, Aunt Julie and her two besties.

Sisters & Friends

I Love all three of my daughters.  All three are different from each other.  All three have different talents, goals and dreams for themselves.  As they grow older each year, I find them still trying hard to stay close.  Even through their disagreements, they forgive and continue on as if it never happened.
Hopefully, they will always be best friends.  Hopefully, they will always make the effort to keep in touch.  Hopefully, they will continue to be humble and forgive when they have hardships between them. 
Hopefully, they will all live pretty close to one another so we can visit often.
Cousins are like sisters too!  We love them just as much!
 
They are always part of the family as well!
Even friends can be a part of the circle of family.  They bring joy and excitement.
 
LOVE MY GIRLS
LOVE MY SISTER!

FROM HERE ON OUT, I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER SEE MACEY WITHOUT
OLIVER!  HE IS HER BEST FRIEND AND COMPANION RIGHT NOW
AS SHE IS ATTENDING GROOMING SCHOOL IN SACRAMENTO, CA.
SHE IS STAYING AT A HOTEL FOR 4 WEEKS!
WITH......OLIVER!
IT'S A BIT OF A WEIRD SITUATION BUT HER COMPANY IS PAYING FOR THE SCHOOL
AS WELL AS THE HOTEL.
IN THE LONG RUN, SHE'LL HAVE ANOTHER
OCCUPATION TO ADD TO HER BELT.
SHE HAS A LOT OF GOALS FOR THE FUTURE
AND HOPEFULLY,
OLIVER WILL BE RIGHT BY HER SIDE!
