Elder Rasmussen

We said farewell to my dear brother at the beginning of this month. He will be serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We are so excited for him and he couldn't wait to get out there. Easton loves Uncle Bobo and I'm so thankful for the wonderful example he is setting for my little guy. Braiden is one of Easton's favorite people, I think one of his favorite things was to wrestle with him. The week before he left, Braiden took E to the movie theater to see Cars 2. So fun!

We had a good time spending time with the family before he left. The night before he left, he was set apart. It was such a neat experience. The stake president told Easton that he had a special job, to be Braiden's companion until he left. He took it quite seriously and didn't leave his side except to go home to bed. The next day he had to ride with him and be right by him. So sweet.

We went to lunch and then to the Provo temple to say our goodbyes. All the husbands couldn't get out of work so it was just the good old fam.

It was kind of crazy saying goodbye. I have said goodbye to friends in the past, but this was different. It is crazy to think when he gets home that Easton will almost be 6 and Little Mister will almost be 2. We love him so much and just want him to succeed and be happy. It is so great to hear from him and know that he is doing well. Easton misses him and asks almost nightly when Bobo will be back. And he never fails to mention him during his prayers. We ♥ him and wish him the best!
