Lisa Says: Here is the note with photos that Tara got today. We sent a package that was decorated with camels (Hump Day. Get it?) that she got Saturday with 2 identical shirts and a bunch of treats and party supplies to celebrate her half-way point in her mission.
Dearest Darling Girl!
Hiya! Can you believe that it is your half-way day?!?! Super!
To celebrate you making it to the half-way-hey-its-all-down-hill-from-here-top-of-the-world-ma Day, we decided that we could all show our support by making a family T-shirt. Cuz what says “We love you” and “We are so dang proud of the person you are” and “We are sending you all our best wishes for this next half of your mission!” than if we all dressed up in matching shirts? Solid. We have been thinking about you all week! (Well more this week than usual anyway!) and are sending this to you to prove it!
So, remember back when you were a greenie and went with Sister Brakey, to the lighthouses? You sent us a video and on it you and she kept using the phrase “God is good.” And then because you are in the south, when you said it again at the Mother’s Day phone call, it had stuck with a y'all on the end. We have been (Well, at least, I have anyway) been using it at home and (especially when I talk about you!) Your G-ma C found a shirt that actually said that phrase on Pintrest. When she showed it to me, an idea was born. We could make a shirt like that for all of us and we would all wear them and send photos of us wearing them to you for Half-Way Day. It would be so fun!
And thus it came to pass…
The Poulsen’s had a Flat Tara photo shoot and the C family has this T-shirt one. Can you tell we had some fun? Well - some had more fun than others (we won’t name names) .. and some of us are so dang photogenic! (also not named) but all were great sports and now we all can enjoy having the SOFTEST T-shirts than anyone ever wore. We might not take them off again.
We absolutely think that you are fabulous, we are cheering you on and join you in saying this truth: “God is Good, Y’all!”
With much love always,
Yer Fam
