The Boston Temple

Yesterday we were able to go to the
Boston Temple with Jared and Lauren.
It was a wonderful experience, and yet another step
for Jared towards leaving on his mission.
Today he spoke in church.
At this point I think all that is left to do is pack
up his bedroom and pack his suitcases.
He leaves here on Monday, June 6th
and enters the MTC on Wednesday, June 8th.
Erin, Justin, and Bennett will be taking Jared
to the MTC which is fitting since
Erin and Justin took Brett to the MTC too!

Jared's Openhouse

Friends and family who live in the Albany area are
all invited to Jared's openhouse. We hope to see you there!

Celebration Dinner

Jared returned home from school on Wednesday, April 27th. That night we were having the sister missionaries and Helen over for dinner. I decided that we would have a Hawaiian themed dinner to celebrate Jared's mission call, since he'd been at school when he received his call.

We had Hawaiian haystacks for our main course. We had Hawaiian Sweet rolls like these-

We also had Hawaiian punch with ginger ale to drink, and
pineapple upside-down cake with pineapple sherbet for dessert. Yummy!

Congratulations Jared! We're so excited for you!
