Setting Apart and Saying Goodbye

Josh took this picture while we were in Stake President Ellsworth's office.  I think David was talking about how excited he was that he gets Sophie's room. 

This is the after picture that the Stake President took for us.  Josh, JoEllen and Brad all cried while we were in the office.  Which in turn made me cry.  But I think for the most part Josh was the worse.  It's just because he won't see her for 3 years because his mission will over lap hers by 6 months.  They are only 15 months apart and have been like twins their entire lives.  Even when Sophie graduated from high school, she still ended up coaching the High school swim team so she spent a lot of time with him and the kids at school.  Minus eating lunch together every day they still saw each other 20 hours a day instead of 24.  Right after this picture we threw her luggage in the van and headed up to Lehi, where we had a big dinner with all the cousins and Sophie got to say a last goodbye to all of them. 

The next morning we woke up to a wonderful breakfast by grandma.  Sophie gave them and Abby a hug goodbye and off we went to the MTC.  It was just a coincidence that they all matched.
