It's Father's Day! Not that I am a father yet but I still think it's a good day.
Heather and I just got back from a week and a half trip to visit our families. We spent four days with Heather's family and four days with mine and two days at a wedding (one of Heather's friends). It was a lot of driving (almost 2600 miles) but it was worth it. In Kentucky we worked on the farm a lot, did some visiting, and found a huge patch of raspberries on the farm (though most of the berries weren't ripe yet). In Indiana my whole family was there to say farewell to my brother James. He is leaving to serve a mission in Chile next month and will be gone for two years. He will spend his time there preaching and doing volunteer service for the community he is assigned to. We are very proud of him.
It was a good time. It was good to talk to our parents about our new home. We had lots of fun playing with nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters. Space was a little tight in Indiana and we ended up in the basement but it was worth it. Being able to be with our families forever will be a tremendous blessing and I hope that we can live up to it.
