Elder Adam returns home

We had a very event full week starting out with mom and min having a baby shower for me which turned out awesome. Unfortunately we didn't think about a camera at the time so I don't have any pics but it turned out awesome. Thanks you two... On Sunday morning we headed to Boise for the night to stay with my brother and sis-in-law. On mon morning we drove to Utah we had great weather and were very fortunate to stay with our good friends the Dalley's. We relaxed Monday just visiting and catching up. Tues morning we went to the airport to pick up Chad, since he had a meeting he had to fly a few days later to join us. "Sure he just wanted to avoid a 12 hour drive with two toddlers". Than Wednesday morning finally came with the signs in our hands we were off to finally pick up Adam from his mission in Paraguay. With the excitement of waiting for him we all wondered if he has changed very much physically or emotionally? Finally he came down and there was this mature 21 yr old elder with a bright smile happy as can be. He finally met his niece and nephew which was so fun. He was the same Adam and to our surprise as the day went on we realized that spiritually he has changed and matured but our Adam was back and ready for some fun. We went to lunch, shopping, and even caught a movie. It is so great to have him home.
Thursday we headed over to our Aunt and Uncles for dinner and than to another relatives for pie. They all loved seeing and visiting with Adam. After a long day we headed back to Dalley's and relaxed for the night. Well Adam,Nick, and Chad played Guitar Hero and we all watched Hairspray. Fri morning was the "door crashers" mom and I headed to the stores at 5 but even by 5:15 most of the things we went for were gone. Oh well we still had a great time. The week was finally coming to an end and Adam was ready to finally relax and sleep for a while.
Saturday we headed to Boise to visit with Matt and Kim, we all went to the Hockey game that night at the Arena which was awesome. Matt got us all a suite so the kids were able to be blocked in and run wild which they did. Matthew does all the graphics and such for the teams in Boise. Thanks Matt. Go Steelheads!!!
Sunday morning we headed out back home what a great and memorable trip we all had, and we are so happy Adam is back!!

What a handsome brother! I don't remember him? I remember your older brother younger sister and of course little Nicholas (who is no longer little- time flys)!

Too bad my little sister is in Logan, we could play Matchmaker! BTW, your blog is so hard to read with the moving snowflakes. Maybe it's just me- thought I'd let you know.

I am so glad that your brother came back safely. My cousin served in that same mission a couple years ago, and he loved it as well.
