Ummm cool we have a blog now. For a reason, I assume.

Thanks to Jenna for setting up this blog for us!

I just have to add to her little tale... 
Just before the first Nerdin kid (Matt) left for his mission to Peru--Lima East, we found out that Nerdin kid #8 was on the way.  That meant that all our plans and goals had to be extended for 19 years!  I told everyone, "When this kid enters the MTC, we're going to go with him."  I've joked about as a future event for all of those 19 years.  Well, guess what that time is no longer in the future; it now!

Ron and I looked at our jobs, our finances, our home, and family.  We've been tremendously blessed and decided we could actually make that dream/promise come true.

So.... tomorrow, Ammon will meet with the Stake President at 7:30 PM and we meet with the Stake President at 8:00.  He should push the button soon after that and our "papers" will be in Salt Lake.  Then the wait begins.

Please send in your guesses of where we'll be going.  We'll put your submissions on our world map.

In the begining . . .

In the begining there was 1 Nerdin, Papa Ron. He fell in love with a then Callahan, Mookie Lee, so he decided to ask her to marry him. After some tears, prayers and long talks she happily agreed with one condition: that one day he would take her on a mission. Papa Ron agreed and 1 Nerdin became 2. Years passed and those 2 Nerdins grew to a family of 10. As kids got older they married and left the house and the number of Nerdins was always in flux but Papa Ron Ron never forgot his promise to his lovely wife.... So as the youngest prepared to leave the house for his mission Papa Ron and Mooke Lee decided tooooo race him  for the door to strange new lands. 3 Nerdins on missions all at the same time, now heres the blog to follow thier stories!
