Brittany comes home


Last Friday Brittany came home from her mission in Italy. It is amazing how fast time goes and we were all so excited to welcome her home. We went over to Lisa and Lonnie's house and ate pizza and visited with everyone. Then we all piled into cars and headed down to Sky Harbor to wait at the international gate for her to arrive. Papa easily entertained Emma by showing her that she could see her reflection in the back of the balloons which kept her happily occupied. It was really neat to watch Lori's excitement as she waited. With each person that would come out the door we would get more and more anxious. Finally we saw her and I don't think any of us had a dry eye as we watched her and Lori hug for the first time in eighteen months. The people sitting around us waiting were looking at us a little odd since there was like twenty of us with balloons and signs and cheering when she walked out. She looks great. She was definitely exhausted and was having a hard time remembering to speak English. We are all so happy to have her home again.
