Today was flight day!

Well.... today was the big day, Part I. Sean left for Utah today. He is going to be spending tonight with his cousin Eric and his wife Kristen and the kiddos. Tomorrow will be the big day, Part II - checking into the MTC.

We started this blog to share Sean's mission experience with family and friends. Hope you enjoy.

Today, was a great day.... a lot of tears were shed - both for being sad at knowing we will miss him, but also joy - because he will be on his mission. A goal that he has had for a long time.

Here are a few pictures from the airport....

 Checking in... the moment has finally arrived for him.

Good-bye's to family & friends.




The missionary flashing his smile and sparkly eyes...




This is a Mom and brother sad face...
 
And hugs from the little brothers.


Our final view of him heading to the gate... of which he said he barely made it, they were closing the gate door as he got there!


This pic shows how much Collin does really love his brother...



We are so excited and proud of Sean. This is going to be a great experience for him. (and us too!)

  1. Hi, I'm Kristen Hopkins' mom. Two of Kristen's uncles live in or by Sean's mission. Brad Andersen and Bryan Andersen. He can watch for them. Love, Susan Andersen
