Off She Goes!

For Meranda, I'm sure she thought June 27th would never come.  Having her farewell a few weeks early was good and bad.  Good because the stress of the talk was over....bad because everyone wondered why she was still around.

She tried to come up with new ways to tell people when she was leaving...i.e. "June 27th"..."The 27th of June"....."Wednesday, June 27th".....etc.

So today, June 27, 2012, Meranda Kay Wood left for the Buenos Aires, Argentina MTC for approximately 8 weeks and then on to the Paraguay Asuncion North Mission. She looked great - cute white top, pink cardigan, taupe peasant skirt and Toms!

I look forward to hearing about her experiences - successes and failures - good and bad!  I will miss her, but I know the time will go quickly.

P.S. Some day when I can fix my blog.....pictures will be posted!

June 20th - MK's Birthday

Today is the 22nd birthday of Meranda Kay.  The 22 years has flown by.  She was hesitant to come into the world - being 10 days late - but there has been no hesitation in the way she lives her life.  She is a wonderful daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend.  She has a great personality and a warm and cheerful smile!  She is always happy (well almost) - and is very goal oriented and focused.

She has accomplished a lot in her 22 years - she has an Associate Degree and a Bachelor's degree....AND she mananged to get through school WITHOUT any debt!

She is about to embark on a great adventure for the next 18 months - leaving for Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 27th for 9 weeks and then moving on to Asuncion, Paraguay where she will serve her Heavenly Father as a Misisonary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

So Happy Birthday to my wonderful Daughter!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
