MTC

Of course we get to the Orlando Airport at 6:45ish AM.  Her plane leaves at 7:45am.  We were able to go through a quicker line because we had checked her in online and pre-paid for her luggage, mental note: do this for all trips...

Next up, the security line...you would've thought you had stepped into Walt Disney World or Universal, yep you guessed, she had to wait in line.  They even had a timer on the wall that showed how long the wait was from that point, to the security detectors.

Before Teighlor went in, she saw a few things she wanted to take a picture with.

Ok, so I wasn't one she asked to have her picture taken with, I had to ask her, lol...

I gave her a hug and we said "goodbye" or "see you later" :)  I was going to leave and even walked away.  I called Sam (he had already said goodbye) who was waiting at the cell lot so we didn't have to pay for parking, yes we are cheap, lol...and when I got off the phone with him, I decided to go back and watch her go through the security gate, just to make sure everything was ok.  I watched her all the way through, she made it just fine, I blew her a kiss and she was off.
I seriously didn't think I would cry, I felt like I was going to be the worst mom cause I knew I wouldn't cry, I just didn't feel emotional...I was really afraid something was wrong with me.  BUT...after she was gone the tears came...I was relieved I had some tears in a weird way, but at least it wasn't over whelming.  I have teared up several times through out the day, I divert my thinking, gain composure and then I am fine again.
I love her, I am proud of her.  I know she will be a great missionary.

I wasn't sure if I was to expect a phone call from her, letting me know that she made it.  As time went on, and Delta.com had confirmed the plane landed, I figured I wasn't getting a phone call.  That's ok, I kinda knew anyways.  They don't want the separation to be any harder than it will already be.
I prayed for her throughout the day...my mind would wander and I would imagine her alone, even though I KNOW she is not alone, I just have a crazy mind.  I know our Heavenly Father knows each of us and what we need.  I received a wonderful short little message from Mica McGriggs, telling me that she was at the airport to pick up a cousin's friend to take him to the MTC and she saw Teighlor.  What???  Really???  How ironic is that!!!  But she was unable to say hello at the airport was crazy chaotic, someone called it a "Mormon Zoo", lol...she did get to tell me that Teighlor looked good and was with a big group of Missionaries.  That was it, that is what I needed to hear.  I am so grateful for that short little message.  HF answered my prayer through Mica.

Teighlor is now at the MTC and will be there until the 12th of Aug.  I know she will learn and grow tremendously just in these few days she has there.
