A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

So, that would mean that I've automatically got 5000 words down before I even write anything eh? The missionary brother is home!!! It was one of those bitter sweet experiences. I know how badly I did NOT want to come home from my mission and how perfectly satisfied I would have been to land in Salt Lake, hug my family that was NOT waiting for me (long story) at the airport, and then get back on the plane and head back to Toronto. Yes, I could be just fine living there right now sharing the gospel. But, all good things must come to an end and such it is with a mission. So, I have to be honest and admit that as excited as I was to see him, my heart was breaking at the same time, the moment I saw him coming toward us. It's been fun to have him around and I love to hear him tell stories about experiences he had while he was in California. Haley was sure excited to see Dallin...but when she really DID see him, it was a whole different story...










Maybe she really didn't remember the Dallin that she prayed for all this time. She looks a little nervous there having Dalling hold her. She's loves him now though. They're good buddies and she calls him "D-Bone."














Here's the happy couple!!













The other night Gary and I had the rediculously awesome opportunity of attending the Jass vs. Spurs game 3! That would be the one that the Jazz WON! It was a fun great game! At the time I met Gary, he had NEVER been to an NBA game EVER in his life. We managed to get some sweet tickets a while back and we went but that was nothing like this one! The crowd was seriously SO loud! It was awesome! My ears were tingling all the way home from the game, but it was SO worth it!
