Best Christmas Present Ever....

Facetime with Elder Hatch

(thanks for the picture Kim!)

It was awesome!

He's doing great and loves his mission!

We loved being able to talk to him and see him!

Hopefully, the next 6-7 months will pass as quickly

as the last 18 months have!

...already looking forward to Mother's Day!

Things I am thankful for...

Elder Jacob Allen Hatch

Mexico Chihuahua Mission

Currently serving in Ciudad Juarez

(yes, that Juarez)

I am thankful for his testimony, hard work, compassion, spiritual growth, safety, example, love for the scriptures, love for the people he serves, love for his companion(s), and diligence.

I could go on and on...just say

I'm a proud missionary mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday to the BEST wife, mother, grandmother and friend in the world! We love you!

364 (ish) days til...

Elder Hatch returns home... In case you can't tell...

He's having a wonderful adventure...

In the Mexico Chihuahua Mission...

Today is his 1 year mark!

In many ways it's gone by quickly...

But next year, about this time,

can't come soon enough!
