We had a fun open house for Dallin who recently left for his mission in South America. We made tons of good food and a nice crowd showed up to wish an exceptional young man well as he ventures off on this exciting new adventure. As I mentioned before, I adore this boy (and his entire family) and I'm so proud of him.
After the open house, I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend his setting apart. Here's a pic of all of us after Dallin's blessing. His grandma, seated below, was my "mom" at my first ever youth conference - one of those scary wilderness ones. I've loved her since I was 14 and it's so great that I've been able to become close to her children and grandchildren too.

| Including so you can see my crying eyes AND messed up hair. LOL. But look at Dallin's face - pure joy! |

Oh I'm so glad you posted about this and I'm even more glad that you were able to be a part of it all. I love that family too and yes - he is glowing!
I can see his dad in him.
Your tear face makes me sad!
Yay for Dallin! I miss those Connells.
P.S. You look smokin' hot in that dress!
