My little brother Chase just left last Wednesday to the MTC. He will be serving in Belgium.Brussels.Netherlands in two months. It is so crazy how fast time flies, and quickly life changes. For the most part of his life he stayed in the basement playing video games, until my brother Trevor and his family moved back from Arizona. They lived with my parents for about 6 months and that was a HUGE turning point for Chase. If there was a reason they needed to move home, THAT could be it. He became more social, more loving, and interested in all of us that were there- I think we were all so busy , grown up, and worried about our own lives we didn't make him be involved with us. He has truly become my friend over the last year, I am SO thankful to Trevor and Tami for making him want to spend time with our family, and being so good to him! I really love Chase, and it was so hard for me to say good-bye. On Sunday we went for dinner at my moms and I had to fight tears so many times...like when I saw his car! I'm such a nerd. Anyways, he's such a good kid and I know he will be a GREAT missionary. I am so proud of him!
The last breakfast..IHOP...on the way to the MTC:)
My poor Dad....Chase is his best buddy!
Lauren and Hallie....waiting to be seated:) Just had to throw this in there because I thought it was cute!

I still think of Chase as a little 6 year old running around the ball park trading pins!! He is such a great kid....and I LOVE the bows!!!
Chase looks so handsome! He will be great! And YeS I also just love those BoWs!!
That's so hard- but at least missionaries can email now! Hopefully the next 2 yrs will speed by! Oh, and the girls are adorable, of course!
Oh, that was sweet! I have seen you fight tears before at "goodbye." You are a tender-hearted girl!
Chase is going to be an awesome missionary. The whole waking up for scripture study will be a challenge (if his companion can shake him awake). He is such a good person he'll do great.
Another cute Jeppesen!;) It would be super hard saying goodbye to your brother...2 years hopefully will just fly! I think that is the cutest picture ever of your little girls! They are so blasted cute!
Chelsea!!! It's Julia Munns (Burdych now:) I was hopping from people's blogs and came to yours! Your twins are so cute! I can't believe Chase is on a mission. Good for him. It was great to see how you are doing and I will have to check in on your blog from time to time to see how you are doing!
that was the sweetest post. you are so cute. i remember being so sad when my older brother left for his mission too. we were close because we're only 13 months apart and its sad to see them go, but its all for the best!! hang in there!
on a lighter note, your girls are so STINKIN CUTE!! i adore their little boots. they should be baby gap models or something
Oh, cute little Chase. Isn't it sad how awesome they become right before they leave? Mitch has been gone for two months and I'm about ready for him to come home. I'm so proud of Chase. He's still a squirrelly little kid in my mind. I can't believe how fast time goes by. I love your family.
Your girls are getting so big and so adorable. My sister Ali said she thinks your brother is hot. Just so ya know. I hope you guys are doing well.
Good luck to Chase; what a great sister you are! And I loved that last picture...I think I saw a picture just like it on a Baby Legs flier, recently. Hmmm...you trend setter! :) I say, demand royalties.
I can't believe he is old enough to be serving a mission. Crazy how time flies! Good luck to him!
Hey, I never thought of us making a difference in Chase's life. That was nice of you to put it that way. We miss him tons already!
This is Tami, by the way, logged in as Trev. :) Although Trevor read your post too and thought that was "so nice."
Oh man! My brother is turning 19 in May. I don't know how I am going to cope! It must be rough! But awesome too. We're thinking of you..
I obviously haven't checked out your blog for a while, but that picture of Lauren & Hallie is SO CUTE!!! I love their outfit & bows! ...Also I miss Chase!
