So, my baby boy turned 19 on December 10th. It was a a quiet celebration. 
He was excited for his mission, but due to some medical issues and such he will not be going at this time. He may go later, but maybe not. This has been a source of much disappointment.
He is now working full time and trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. What a hard crossroads he is at. He has anxiety and depression issues which doesn't help during these hard transition times.
He has to make choices on his own. It is hard as a mother not to be able to fix everything and just point him down the right road. It's hard to let go. Chris is a great young man though and he has a strong testimony. He will do great whatever he decides. I am so proud to be his mother. I love him so much. This is what his friend, Lexin, got him for Christmas. A "Red Rider BB Gun". This is the Christmas card they came up with together. He has the greatest friends and all of them together give me great joy and a lot of laughs.
Happy 19th Birthday Christopher! I love you!

Oh Mindy! That's hard, but you know what a great boy he is, and he will have many opportunities to serve throughout his life. Big Hugs!!
Happy Birthday Christopher. This is a hard time of life trying to decide where to go and what to do. No matter what it will work out though. Christopher is a great guy!
