He's Off :(

Robert left today for his new job in Abu Dhabi. We won't see him again until at least Christmas, and possibly not even then. That's a pretty long time to have him 8180 miles away.

We had a nice last weekend. We got to spend time as a family - all six of us - which was nice. And today he got to ordain Scott to be a Priest, with Brian and Jeffrey standing in the circle. What a special experience. Those are the memories I'll hold onto right now.

Let the adventure begin! I know you can do it.

GNO is Tuesday. Hang in there until Tuesday! And holler if you need anything.

You'll make it through it!! If I can do it, anyone can. It's good that you got to have a weekend with the whole family before he left.

Wow... that was fast! Which means August will come way way way too fast :(

GNO will be a blast and get my mind off of the no bueno part of this equation.

Uh, what the what?! I have missed this info ENTIRELY! And while I am thrilled Robert's working, I don't know about that A.D. business. You are certainly tough enough, though.

Gabe kept calling Scotty "our Scotty" during sacrament b/c Scott was our deacon.

Oh Laura. My heart goes out to you. Was Robert unemployed before this job? Hang tight!
