The Good News Is . . .

The good news is that all my weird symptoms have decreased since we arrived in the valley.  My lips still feel weird—like when you're coming off of the anesthetics after dental work—but they are not super swollen any more.  In fact, if they stayed the way they look right now, that would be OK.  Without the weird tingling. And the rash is fading too, and it's much less itchy, so I didn't go to the doctor after all.  If things get icky again, then I'll go.

The better news is that we celebrated my dad's 85th birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

And the bestreally good news is that Jason received his mission call today!

This is the picture Jason submitted with his mission application.
Good-looking kid!
Well, technically the call came in the mail last Wednesday, but we weren't here to see it until today.

Just barely back from camp, Jason used his pocket-knife to open the eagerly-awaited envelope.
Elder Jason Daniel North has been called to serve in the Canada, Vancouver mission.

This is Jason immediately after reading the mission papers.
He's been smiling like this all day.
:-)
He will report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on October 30, 2013.  Yay!  How cool is that?!

Vancouver is one of my favorite cities on this earth! Such a beautiful, friendly city. He will love it there (and you need to find a way to visit him). It's gorgeous there! Congratulations!
