Dear Sister Bluemel....

We all gathered together via technology, some of us on FaceTime, some of us on Google Hangouts as Paige opened her legendary over sized white envelope. We were all on the edge of our seat and we were thrilled to find out in about 6 weeks, Paige would need to report to the MTC.

We planned a mini family reunion that would enable all of the siblings, spouses, and niece could be there. We were all there as Paige's endowment session, we had a good time eating out, eating snacks, joking around, and sharing a special testimony meeting geared at telling Sister Bluemel our personal thoughts and feelings.

Tess seems to do a good job of keeping us all entertained when we get together. Her and Paige seem to have a very special relationship. We are so grateful Paige is showing her niece such a great example! 

Poor Paige didn't feel very good with the stomach flu but she certainly put on a good face and seemed to enjoy all the festivities anyway. We went to Olive Garden afterwards and then we headed home for some relaxing and went to a festive haunted corn maze!

Here we are waiting to go through the haunted corn maze! We had so much fun. We joked around and chatted while waiting and stuck together while braving the scary maze.

About a week later, Paige gave her farewell talk and was set apart on a Monday. She was set apart at the chapel built right across the street from the Fort Collins Temple that is currently being built!

Next, on Tuesday, October 28th....Mom and Dad drove Paige to Utah where they dropped her off and said good-bye for the next 18 months!

And there she goes!
