It is here, Austin's call came last Saturday of all the crazy days. We had permission from Ross's Mission President to call him when we opened it so we had to wait until after 10pm so he would be home. We all took a guess of where we thought he would go. We guessed any where from Brazil to Japan and his dad said Iowa. So then we had the big reveal and guess what... it is the Mexico City North Mission where Austin will be spending the next 2 years of his life. He leaves on March 4th and will go to the MTC in Provo first. We are all surprised but excited for him. Austin will be an amazing missionary he has a real gift of drawing people to him. He is already working on his Spanish trying to brush up from High School and has several people at work talking to him in Spanish. I am so glad we will have a few months with Ross and Austin home together. I am excited to have both of my boys home under the same roof for a while.

congrats to all of you Kolby said "bring one home, ship one out."
Congratulations Austin! You will do awesome on your mission. You will need to have a pow wow with Ross and pick his brain before you leave. How awesome is that! :)
That is so exciting! I'm so proud of him! Congrats!
If he went to Japan, those people would run for their lives thinking King Kong was real. He would be a GIANT to them. So exciting for everyone especially Austin. We are so proud of you.
YAY!!! Congrats!!! =D Hope everything goes well!! =D Are you guys going to bring him up??
Hey girl, Jacob told me... I guess him and Austin have been texting and keeping in touch. So exciting! He will be awesome! I would love to figure out a way we can come up for one or the other when they speak! You know that first night Ross is home, when you all go to bed, it is an AWESOME feeling to drift to sleep just knowing each child, the whole family is safely asleep under one roof!
Love ya and miss you and guess what, just like always, we seem to think alike, we have the same background! Ü
Hooray! We love missionaries! Congratulations! That is great that you will have everyone home- even if it is for a short time!
