last blast

Davy's band's last practice... for their last performance that evening.
It totally caught me off guard - as soon as they started, I got all choked up for the first time,
realizing that this was the last time I would be hearing them play Davy's music in our house for 2 years :/
I love, love, love this photo :)
Performance time - John's band "Primrose Gardens" goes first and they sound great. It's already a packed house.
Davy's band's turn..... they were awesome. AWESOME. It was the most electric night ever. EVER. 
I can't even tell you how much I wanted it to go on and on. There was major foot stomping at the end too. 
Henry even played his glassed off :) You guys were so amazing. It's going to be a long 2 years without you.
So the next day it was time to become the missionary Davy had chosen to be. So let the transformation begin...
which is somethings hard :)

But just look how wonderful and handsome he looks. This is our Stake President, who had just set Davy apart as a missionary of Jesus Christ - he gave Davy the most beautiful blessing. It was absolutely everything Davy. So now we begin our journey to take Davy to check in to the Mission Training Center. Oh how I love my boy ❤

  3. The "lasts" of mom-land cut straight to the core of what we have been for so many years. It is so fulfilling to look back with 'no regrets'.
    Isn't it an incredible to look back and say things like, "I'm so glad I stopped life's busy-ness to listen to my son's band practice!" or "I am so glad for every time I enjoyed the band at the coffeehouse!"
    The best videos, photos, scrapbooks are the ones we store inside our own memories. So glad your "scrapbook" is full of happiness!
    I have a feeling that the music of Davey's band will be floating through your memories for many years to come... and ... when you hear it... you will smile!
