MTC Vacation--Day 1

June 14th--Day One of the MTC vacation--We went to church. After sacrament meeting Alex got set apart as a missionary by President Newton. It was really special. We had so much family there and Alex gave a great talk in church, too. After church we left and went home to finish loading the RV. We pulled out of the driveway at about 4:00....right on time. As soon as we pulled away we realized we left our games at home. Oh well, we decided. We could buy more. Then we started looking for my notebook to get addresses for where we were going. Where is that notebook, anyway?!?! Oh, no, we definitely have to go home for that. Turn the big rig around and go get the notebook. Might as well get the games while we are home!!! Taylor runs to get the notebook where I told him it was. No notebook!! Where else could it be? Oh, yeah, it IS in the RV...put up in the cabinet with my magazines and books (sheepish, sheepishness!) Back on the road, now 30 minutes late....but we had those games!
We drove to Dallas and stopped at Zack's sister's in Carrollton so they could say goodbye to Alex. We had a fun visit with them for a couple hours and then we were one our way. We finally stopped at some truck stop and Zack slept for about 4 hours. We decided that was the worst gas mileage you could get.....O miles to the gallon.
