Alex got his mission call!

Reading the actual letter.....the excitement is mounting!

Letting it try to sink in....Dominican Republic, Santiago Mission!

Now trying to absorb it all and enjoying all the hype around the anticipation!

We are very excited for him and of course very proud of him!

Various Gruber Spring Breaks

Spring Break this year we were all spread out. Lizzy spent time in SLC with the family, Ali took a trip out there to visit and headed back up to Rexburg for the week, Alex finished up school down at SVU. Meg's was an only child for a little while and spent time with friends and taking care of her sick cousin Natalie. Pictures to document our different adventures.

Liz entertained the young cousins and liked to pretend she was 5 years old instead of almost 21!
