Mom and Dad's Farewell

Ryan's parents will soon be off to their mission in San Diego! I am sad to say that I missed their farewell talks yesterday. I caught what Ryan had last week, so I was home on the couch. But I just wanted to say how much we will miss them! And I have no idea how Raiden will have anything to wear now that my mother-in-law won't be bringing us her yard sale finds each month (I can't remember the last time I had to go out and buy him clothes)! hehe.

I know Raiden will miss his grandparents a ton, especially grandma. He loves her, and every time he sees her he squeals with delight, and runs to her as fast as he can. It's so cute. Raiden is very fortunate to have such loving grandparents. I know we will probably be able to go out and visit them - luckily it is only a short trip - but 18 months still seems like such a long time! I am still getting used to this whole mission thing. :) Hopefully Ryan's job will call him out to San Diego again so we can tag along.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I am grateful to have married into such a warm and loving family. Ryan's parents have been nothing but sweet to me from the day I met them and, of course, they raised Ryan to be a wonderful person, so I am grateful to them for that. It is definitely fun being a part of the Redford clan!

What an awesome mission, San Diego is so pretty, and the weather is great! I am glad that you get to visit them as well, you are very lucky to have such a great relationship with them!

What a sweet post, we will all miss them! I'm not sure what Aunt Terri will do without her "partner in crime" !
