He's Off #2...continuation of my mom's post!!(:

The many funny faces of Jordan & his glasses! He said he was going to wear them when he meets his companion and act like a big nerd! I wonder if he really did?!!

After I picked up Jo from the airport we went & got our good friend Jess Porter, who goes to BYU and all went out to lunch. We had such a fun time!(: They were hilarious and talked about girls, girls, girls! What's new?
Jordan, Jess, me (jacque). Curt wasn't able to get out of school & work. It was a test to see if I could make the trip alone, I almost passed!
The time came so quickly for us to take him & say good bye. We were having a blast it really didn't even feel like this would be it for 2 years. We had a plan of action though. The new MTC thing is that you just have to drop the missionaries off at the curb, so we decided to park and take pictures and then go back, get the car and drive through the area we were supposed to take Jordan to. it was funny cause as we were walking back up the hill to the car (away from the MTC) with Jordan people looked at us kind of funny. Honestly, we did feel like we were kidnapping him(: We teased him & said that maybe a 24hour mission might do the job!


We got all the pictures taken and drove through the array of missionaries waving us to the curb, hopped out, and gave our hugs. It was so different than I thought and all of us were simply happy=no tears! Before we knew it he was being escorted off by a missionary and on his smiling way! Jess & I just kinda sat there and then said, "wow he's really gone!" He'll do amazing and I'm so glad I got to share this memory with Jordan! It still doesn't feel real, but after a couple weeks and I'm not getting anymore "what's up girl?" texts I think it will sink in! We are so proud of him though and are so excited for what he'll do! We love you Jordan! Thanks Mom for letting me take your baby!

(Why I said I almost passed the test alone is because on my drive back up I got a little distracted, drove right past my exit & was on my way to Idaho. Thankfully mom was on the phone cause I soon realized my gas gauge was next to nothing...finally once I started being unfamiliar with everything and 8 miles later for the next turn off I flipped around and barely rolled into a gas station in Brigham with a shaky car and all. It sure was a blessing I made it that far! Good thing we had this whole missionary thing today or I could still be stranded in Honeyville!)
