Anyway, I told Corey before the video that we were leaving immediately after it was over. I was not going to linger and avoid saying bye. I think my dad and I were the first ones to leave. Haha! Why avoid the inevitable? I asked Corey during the orientation if he had any final parting words or advice for me. All he said was, "I love you." THAT made me cry! He is so humble! He didn't tell me, take care of mom and dad or read your scriptures or take care of Marty and Tavin or whatever else he could have told me. He just said, "I love you." Of course, when I said bye, that didn't make me cry. Being surrounded by all of these families and their missionaries, so many people crying, I just wanted to go, and not think about the fact that this was it.
It's not really real to me that he's gone. I do already miss him, but it's such a weird feeling. I love him so much! He's just so humble and obedient and amazing! He's the best brother in the whole world!
It was great! It was the shortest trip I've ever made to Utah. We weren't even there for 24 hours. Even though this was a short trip, I still I wish I lived there. I love that place!
Amazing Utah sunset! This is part of why I love Utah SO much!
I know, I bet you've never seen a pic like this before.
This is probably my favorite pic of me and Corey! Even though you can't really see our faces. I had the honor of putting his name tag on his suit!
There he is! Elder Hogewoning! The dot is just so everyone knows he is a brand new missionary. I think he got to take that off today or gets to in the next week. One of the mission presidents there called it a "Celestial Dot." Hehe!

Last family pic for 2 years! Yeah, me and my dad look SO happy. Not.
