Yes, Mom you are a blogger now. Yes, a blogger, indeed. Mom and I spent 2 hours today setting up her own personal "Robbins Nest" blog. A way to keep us posted on the happy happenings happening in Prague. Quite an entertaining 2 hours, I might add. There were a few choice phrases muttered throughout the whole process "oh for pete's sake!", "What?...Natalie! How come it isn 't (fill in the blank with whatever she thinks it "should" be doing.)" and "Ughhh!" We do accept a few swear words in our household but thankfully, it didn't get to that.
Mom and Dad are going to Prague in 18 days. JJ and I will take care of the house while they are gone. (pretty sweet deal eh?) We will sure miss them around here. Here are a few things that won't be the same in 19 days.
-The garden probably won't get as much to eat (ie. the compost)
-Along with that, the lawn will probably be sporting a more "natural" look for the next year and a half.
-The sounds of "YIP!" and cows mooing probably won't be heard on Saturday mornings.
-The summer decorations that fill the house at this present time will also serve as the Christmas decorations that fill the house in December.
-There will be more grubbies/sterm/cruggle/etc....No can clean like Mom can.
-JJ won't have anyone to have "morning hairdo" contests with in the morning. (Mom puts up a good fight)
-The sounds of the Jazz, the Utes, the Cougs, and other various sports teams will be in lesser abundance.
-We won't go through cereal as fast. (my love of cereal comes from Papa Robbins himself)
-You probably won't see as many vacuum marks on the carpet......
-Our "biggest fans" won't be there to toot our horns and tell other people who their children are and how great they are.
All of the above is true. But most of all, we won't have our parents here in 19 days. I know they will be great missionaries because they are awesome parents. Their love of the Gospel is contagious and they are dedicated to serving the Lord. Thanks Mom and Dad for your wonderful examples and love! The people of the Czech Republic are dang lucky to have you. They will love you just as much as we all do. We will sure miss you! ....(and the good meals you cook)

You are right, they will be great missionaries!! How lucky to have such wonderful parents..and for them to have two beautiful girls!! (you and Michelle are the only ones I know)!! It is great to have you in class...cool Sister Combat, your Mother is!!!
I couldn't resist leaving a message, I am sorry. I actually graduated with JJ's older brother Brandon, so I don't think you know me. Anyhow, I am so excited for your parents mission in Prague. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Prague and it is so beautiful. They will have such an amazing time. If your ever in the area let me know.
She made it! :) Love this post and the memories it provided me with. How lucky is Prague to get your parents? SO LUCKY!
