And He's Off...

My baby brother Aaron left this morning for Brazil. Although it is such a bitter/sweet experience I know that he is in the right place and doing the right thing. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments so far. I am so excited to see him grow and learn through this experience. I am so proud of the growth that has taken place within him already! Aaron is a very special brother and is a very special person. He is constantly blessing the lives of those he comes in contact with day by day. He knows how to make people feel both special and loved. Here are a few pics of our farewell!!
He said he wasn't nervous...but I think this snap shot says a little more than that!
The Good-byes...

Wow, I can't believe Aaron is 19 and going on a mission! I still think of him as so little, but he's not anymore :) I'm so proud of him. He will be an awesome missionary!
