Well yesterday we took Darin to the MTC. He was set apart Tuesday night and the family was all able to get together for a steak dinner and see him get set apart. I had to teach dance but I heard that it was pretty cool. Then we all met up at the MTC. I had never had this experience since we dropped Tyler off at the airport and he went to the Brazilian MTC. Anyways we got there and dropped his luggage off, then were ushered into a huge chapel where they did a devotional and gave some instructions to the missionaries and we watched a movie called...Called to serve. Ok so I was a mess then all of a sudden they just say ok missionaries out one door, and families out the other and then he was gone. We were all so sad, Darin is going to be missed so much he is just the best kid and to have him gone for two years is going to be a challenge. BUT we are so proud of him and know he will be the most amazing missionary. So I know Darin can't read this but Church is true...see ya in 2! 
The proud parents...Robin and Wayne have done an amazing job raising their kids all 4 boys have served missions!
Liddy with her grandma...poor Lydia get's a little car sick so I think that's why she isn't smiling.
The brothers together for the last time...good thing they got all their Halo in before Darin left now maybe Lindsey and I can have our husbands back (ya right!) But I will say Thrilling Thursday's just won't be the same without Dar.
The whole family...are we all so good looking (Ha ha ha!)
It was so funny as Darin was getting ready to leave to hear Chris' and Justin's experiences in the MTC, let's just say they were very different experiences.
Darin is going to be missed by everyone...but especially his mom!
Darin is seriously the best brother-in-law ever, he is just such a good kid and we are truly going to miss him.
Darin with Grandpa White and Mommy Kay...they are so excited to have another missionary out, I think that they may even get to visit him in the MTC since they work with the couple missionaries right now!
Lydia may not know it now but she has the coolest uncle Darin, who is going to serve the Lord for 2 years and we will make sure that she know's who he is by the time he get's home.
I think that Lydia was pooped...and we were all emotionally drained!

Ahhh Britney....We were thinking about all of you on Wednesday and especially about Darin. It is great to see pictures here and get the update. Thanks for sharing. That MTC experience is so emotionally draining...happy and sad all at the same time. It is fun to hear our kids start including Darin in our family prayers..just can't believe that time has come already.
Darin's hair looks awesome. I love the MTC and that video! So cool. He is going to have a ball! 4 boys all served missions is such an accomplishment, especially nowadays. And you and Chris match in the pictures, that is so cute!
