Finally Home!

Okay, so most of you know that my dad made it home from Iraq a couple of weeks ago, but I am posting about this anyway! My dad made it back into the United States on May 28. He flew into Atlanta. The next day my mom met him and they stayed in Atlanta for a few days. They came home on June 3. We (my sisters, Jordan, Alex, Jackson, and I) all met them at the airport. It was so wonderful to see my dad again! He came down the escalator with ten missionaries. It was funny because he stood in front of all the missionaries, so he was kind of blocking them from their families. Apparently his teasing bone did not change while he was gone. I immediately started bawling when he hugged me. I then got to introduce him to Jackson. It was so wonderful seeing my dad hold me baby boy. Jackson wasn't sure what to think, but by the next day they were already buds. I stayed in Nephi the next two nights and just thorougly enjoyed spending time with my dad. He is so wonderful and life is just more fun when he is around!

*I am a major slacker and I didn't get any pics of this! :( I do have a great video at the airport, but it is really long and I don't feel like posting it. Next time I am in Nephi I will get some pics of my cute dad!
