My little brother Mark came home from serving a 2 year mission for
our church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma yesterday morning. I was running around trying to get us all dressed and ready and wouldn't you know it...I forgot my camera! I am so frustrated, but whatevah. My wonderful SIL Amy gave me a couple of pictures that she took. I come from a big family (which I LOVE), there are 8 of us, 4 girls and 4 boys. There are now 5 of us who served missions (I served a mission to Spokane Washington) and it was fun for our entire family to follow Mark's mission as he sent his weekly letters. He has grown into quite a man (he was pretty amazing before he left in my opinion. I have always looked up to Mark). My mom invited us all over for breakfast and spending the day with Mark. I loved the feeling as we sat around the table hearing his stories and experiences.
The grandkids missed "Uncle Marky" terribly. He is so good with each of them and he is a regular celebrity in our house. We have been counting down to the time where he would be with us. I love how all of the grandkids are giving Mark bunny ears.
It was such a good day and we are so excited to have him back with us! I remember his
farewell and the
night before he left like they were yesterday, but it has been a long two years without him. It is going to be so fun to have him around again!

Yayy!! So happy he is home, send love from TX.
I will Amy! We missed you guys last week!
Wow - those 2 years flew by (or at least it seemed like to me - probably not for you guys).
As a side note: What an amazing family you come from and what an amazing family you are raising!
Thank you Catherine. That was such a nice thing to say :)
