Bob and Mona's Farewell

Today we went to Bob and Mona's ward to hear them give their Farewell talks. I can't believe that they will be leaving so soon. I am seriously sooooo sad! I got to thinking today that I don't think things will ever be the same when they get back. Megan and Tyler Shaw and Chelsea and Thomas I know will be moving out of Utah at one point or another for their husbands to attend different schools and that could even happen while Bob and Mona are on their mission. It will be sad to see family spread out and have distance between us...just as we were all finally living close to one another. I am excited for them and for this opportunity they have to serve a mission and I know it will be a great experience for all. Doesn't take the sadness away though. We spent the day together today and ate A LOT of food, no surprise and we played some Just Dance and enjoyed each others company.

On Friday night Chloe and Tallie spent the night at Grandmas with Sophie Garrett and they had so much fun. Mona really wanted to have a last hurrah with the girls before she left. They had a tea party and watched movies with popcorn. They decorated cookies and went to Santa's workshop (aka candy store) and they got to pick out HUGE gumballs and come home and make gumball necklaces. They went to McDonald's for dinner. Chloe and Sam snuggled for the movie and slept together in the same bed HOW CUTE! I wish I had a picture. The next day they went to see "Arthur's Christmas" at the theater. Have I ever mentioned how much I love TJ's mom?! I hope I can be an awesome and fun Grandma.

When we got home we went to Roberts Craft Store to look for some scrapbook paper since they were going out of business and everything was on sale and we happen to see some awesome rustic 7 ft long tables and they were for sale too! Real solid wood and it was only $400! We both looked at each other and instantly knew we had to have it. We totally did an impulse buy and came right home and listed our current table on KSL in hopes we can get enough out of that to cover the new one. The new more is just more practical for us. For one its not counter height and is more kid friendly. Its more stable and is already worn and rustic which is perfect for little hands that destroy everything anyways. I want to get a bench for one side and 2 upholstered modern chairs for the ends and some mismatched chairs for the other side. I am SO excited!
