Last week was a rough, hard, crazy week! And it started off with a bang on Sunday with Shayli's mission farewell! We've kind of been dreading this week coming and saying goodbye. But it was made an even hard week when early Monday morning my sweet aunt, my mom's only living sister, passed away after a 3 year, hard fought, battle with liver cancer. But first off Sunday...Sunday was still a happy day!
Shayli spoke in sacrament, then we had a big luncheon after for all of the family and friends that came. It was fun to just sit and talk with my aunts and uncles for a few hours. We knew my aunt wasn't doing well, so we did a lot of reminiscing and talking about our favorite memories of her.
Monday night everyone went to dinner at Rodizio Grill, and then Tuesday night Shayli was set apart.
Then Wednesday was the big day. We headed down to Provo to meet some of the family for lunch. Jake couldn't miss work that day so he couldn't come.
Giving Shayli our present Haley made her.
Then we headed to the MTC. We got there a little early so that we had time to take some pictures.
And then it was time to say goodbye. I cried. But these poor girls were a wreck. Macie kept hanging on her legs and saying "Shayli, I love you to the moon and back" And Emery bawled the entire 10 minute walk back to the car. We are going to miss her sooooo much, but we are so excited for her. And to see her in 18 months!
