Today my nephew Bryson went into the MTC to serve his LDS mission in Tacoma, WA. I know, weird that I have a 19 yr old nephew...even weirder - I have a 21 yr old niece who is married and will be having her own kids soon I am sure. Bryson is my husband's sister Monica's first son. Monica is 16 yrs older than Brett, who is the youngest of five. Brett was 6 when Bryson was born, so he has always been sort of an older brother to him more than an Uncle. Matter of fact Monica's kids just call us Brett and Lydia...too weird to say Aunt Lydia and Uncle Brett because we are still pretty young to them. I don't mind though. Being called Aunt Lydia makes me feel old anyways haha.
We are going to miss Bryson so much but he is going to do so good!! He will probably come home to a lot of new things. A new cousin and maybe even a nephew of his own if his older sister Chelsea decides to have one within the next two years, which I am sure will happen. He will be in the MTC for about 2 1/2 weeks. Brett will get to see him a little in the MTC and maybe stop and have lunch with him a few of those days....one of those perks being an MTC teacher. It should be fun for them and Monica is thankful for a watchful eye, at least while he is still in the missionary training center. We love you lots Bry and you will be a great missionary!!

ha ha! that sounds like MY family! my sister, monica's (coincidence, huh?) oldest, nate, will be coming home from his mission in december and my husband and i each have another nephew in the mtc right now. nate is 7 years younger than me and kayla is only 9 years younger. they're definitely more like siblings! gotta love the mormon family dynamic!
