Where in the World is Elder North Going?

Family, friends, and neighbors gathered at the North residence last
night to find out where my sweet brother Colby will be headed for 2
years to serve an LDS Mission
There were so many people there to support him, it was really awesome.
Colby is one of the greatest people I know.
He is generous with his time and his heart and is always willing to lend a
helping hand if he can. He is awesome with Riley and I am
grateful to Colby for all the time he spends with him.
I know Riley is going to miss him so much. He loves going to Grandma
Teri's to play tractors and Bob the Builder with Uncle Boby.


The Kitchen was filled with treats and more people. By the time everyone arrived
it was standing room only.


Colby hanging out with his friends awaiting the reading in just minutes to come


The anticipation is just about killing everyone


Trying to act laid back but you know he's nervous as heck!! Ü


Waiting around some more


Taking a turn at the guessing map


HMMMM where do you think Colby is going?




The Moment of truth. Colby Richard North has been called to Serve
in the Richmond Virgina Mission. FYI Chelsey guessed right
so she got the prize of the night



The Proud Parents!! And they should be. They have raised one of the best
kids I have ever met. I am really glad that Riley has him to look up to.


The Proud Grandparents




His super proud sister. I can't believe he is going to be leaving us all
but I am also so excited for him and all that he will get to do
and experience.


Amy, Riley, Colby, Sadie, Justin & Kinley


Just Chillin with the friends.
Colby checks into the MTC on April 1st and I hope for all our
sakes he is back before we even know he's gone.
Colby we are so proud of you and wish you
the best of luck on this Chapter of your life.
We know you will make an awesome Missionary!
Lots of Love!!
Amy, Mat & Riley Joe Taylor Beck North

That is great- I am happy for him, but sad for you, mat and Ry! Time will speed by though. I remember taking him to the movies a few times when he was little- he is a great guy!

Oh my HECK! The anticipation was killing me looking through all the pics first, and I don't even know him! That is was cool, and very exciting! My bro gets home in three months, it seems like forever, but it has also gone by super fast. Missing him will be worth every second!
