It's Thanksgiving and I'm not very Thankful today.  Jake goes into the MTC 3 weeks from today.  It really hit me hard today and I am going to miss the heck out of him.  He's such a great kid that has grown into a great young man.  I love his sense of humor and the way he always finds the good in everyone and in everything.

It's been a though few weeks here.  Jessi and Alan are waiting for their temple papers so we can get those two married.  We had to cancel the December 11th date and they just can't go through the waiting game again so they just aren't planning anything until they hear.  It's been really tough on all of us.

I am thankful for some things, and I shouldn't be so selfish with my sadness of missing Jake.

I AM so grateful that I have such good kids.  They are making wise choices that will have an effect on their eternal lives.  They are good... not perfect, but very good!

Jessi is going through the temple on the 4th and at least Jake will be able to be with her there.  That will really be a good day.

Also, I have a few days off before Jake leaves and I'm going to enjoy spending some time with him then.  I can learn to share with the people of Washington.  But I only have to like it on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
