Humbled....

As I went downstairs this morning to wake my son...(last time for 2 years)
I watched him sleep for a moment.....

That is a tear jerker right there....have you ever tried that? I suggest you do it.....

and how completely humble I am as a mother today....

The first thing that came to my mind was The Spartans....

{I don't know why ok...lol}

But the Spartan women sent there sons out to become men at the ripe 'ol age of 8 or even earlier...

and told to "bring home their shields or be brought home on it" 

That for some reason made me grateful this morning....I  wonder why? lol

Sheesh... those Spartan Mom's are BOSSY!!!!

I watched Treavor say goodbye to his phone last night before becoming set apart as a full time missionary....

It was such an example to me....  of my son willingly giving up something he didn't want to...for something he knows he needs to.

  {total obedience}....and I have no doubt he will do this during his entire 2 years. 

We played board games and I stuffed his face with some of his favorite Mom foods...

And I have to tell you....even with some of the nerves and some obvious "i'm gonna miss him like crazy" feelings....

I feel total peace this morning as I type this....

(Just give me a few hours...lol)

Sorry no pics...busy morning... 

I have to get ready to send my son out to save the world....
