May 31 - turning 19 years old

We got together to celebrate Whitney's last birthday before leaving on her mission to Guatemala.  It has been so fun to have Whitney attending BYU and living up here this past year.  She ran a 5k with us and our ward.  We've gone to the temple together.  We'vemet on campus so many times I couldn't even count to eat, chat, laugh, give hugs.  Many dinners together.  Laundering clothes at our house.  Babysitting Harlow in the dorms. And something I particularly loved was watching Whitney absolutely bloom in college.  She became more physically beautiful every time I saw her.  Her personality is gleaming, she includes and thinks of everyone.  She even told me "No" (well not like that obviously) to hanging out because she had plans with friends and dates :) She is my hero in so many ways. I admire and love and look up to her.  She is one of the most loving individuals I have ever met!  We are all going to miss her tons!  She's going to be a incredibly fabulous missionary!!  With the October 2012 General Conference Whitney's life was turned upside down.  A mission, not even a possibility at this point, all the sudden became a reality and future.  She said that as soon as she heard President Thomas S. Monson announce the age change from 21 to 19 for sister missionaries she burst into tears, she knew she was suppose to serve a mission.  Now leaving to Guatemala is only a few months away.  We're are so proud of and excited for you Whitney!!
