Yep, that boy
who loves his hometown more than life itself,
is headed out.
He called us from the airport around 6:00 a.m.
We smiled as he reported
what had happened there.
It reminded us why we live here, in...

Ty was worried about the juggling the weight of his luggage because seriously, packing 2 years into two pieces of luggage is a giant feat!
Then he heard Utah say...
"Good Morning Elder!
Let's get those bags on the plane for ya!"
(No need to put them on the scale)
Ty was hoping he could figure
out how to use the payphone because
seriously, he's never used one.
Then he heard Utah say...
"Good Morning Elder!
Would you like to use my cell phone
to call home?"

Well, Tyson sounded
excellent in everyway.
He's so excited to get to New York and
"Start spreadin' the news!"
Ha! Ha! Ha!
In light of that "line", how can I resist
posting the video below?!
I can't, so I will.
Plus, Grandma Hutch thinks the words are so appropriate
and I've gotta agree, you might too...
"Start spreadin' the news..."
"I'm leavin' today... "
"These vagabond shoes..."
I really could go on and on.
In fact, I could teach a lesson using those lyrics.
I won't, but I could.
But one thing I will do is share with you
the the line that almost
ripped the heart out of my chest
"these little town blues..."
Yeah, I cried a little bit when I heard those words.
Ummmmm okay, I may be crying a little bit now.
Speaking of "NEWS"...

Leg Kick? Not really...........I just want to go to a corner and cry a minite.........is that okay?
Your posts are always so funny and timely. Just had a hard time finding that today. Brings back a few memories that I thought were buried somewhere.
He'll do a great job and I know he's ready for the task at hand. Please let him know of our love for him.
Does it kind of remind you of the first day or kindergarton!
You made my day!!!
Was just headed to bed feeling, well, just a little downish. Reading you blog and thinking of Ty put a tear in my eye and a smile on my face.
I'm ready for a good night sleep now as I will dream of that wonderful grandson of mine in his own NYC bed ready to preach the word in the morning!!!
How very blessed we are. Grandma Johns

Your blog made me cry. It was so sweet & you're so talented to be able to put that together. My heart (our) hearts are in New York today with our grandson. I have a feeling he's going to be the best missionary New York has ever seen. And how about Utah & the airport? That's when the tears started flowing!
I Love You,
Bobbie (Grandma Hutch)
