Hey Troy,  This is a test run to see if this is your e-mail address and if it is we want you to be the first in your group to receive an e-mail from home.  How is the MTC?  I bet you are pretty thick into it already huh?  I am doing much better now and think I will be able to survive until Christmas so don't worry about me.  Things are going good here.  Very quiet without everybody here and without the wedding commotion.  We went to Riverfront Park on Wednesday and Cooper loved the goat(well after a little persuasion) He also loved the wagon and the ducks were a favorite too.  He rode the carousel and liked that a lot also.  Yesterday we met dad at Liberty Lake Park for a picnic lunch and that was fun.  The weather has been beautiful but today it is a little cloudy again.  Of course that's the day Tate is going on a date with Lindsey Leavitt to the lake.  He wouldn't call it a date so whatever you want to call it.  He took a picnic lunch and they went to Deer Lake I think.  Her parents have land there and they have a canoe and raft so they should have fun if it is warm enough today.  Last night Alyssa and I ran errands taking all of the wedding items that we didn't use back and we are going to make that pottery barn flag today.  Dad got it all cut out for us last night so it is ready to paint.  We are making one for Barb also. The kids are napping now so I should go get something done.  Can't wait to hear from you and see how your are doing.  I love you to death and I am so happy that you are ready and worthy to serve our Heavenly Father and I know that you will be an amazing missionary.  Work really hard and be really obedient and you will be blessed so much.  I'll write again as soon as I know this is your real address and when I have more to say.  I love you.  mom
