Over the weekend, Tim and I drove down to St. George to see my youngest brother, Ryan, for the last time...or what feels like the last time. Two years is a long time. He was called to Cochabamba, Bolivia and will be at the MTC in Columbia for six weeks. I've never seen anyone so ready to spread the word. There were over one hundred people that came to the house after his farewell - Ryan is definitely my most outgoing sibling and I know he'll change lots of lives in Bolivia. It was nice to be with my entire family for a short time. I adore my family; they are so much fun. However, I was ready to get home and back to a schedule and Bridger was even more ready. I think we're done travelling for a while. These are a few of the pictures my sister took while we were there.
My mom made us get a family picture the moment we arrived. Afterward, we all got frozen yogurt - our family's favorite treat. I have beautiful sisters and my dad is the sweetest man alive.
He only stopped crying because my mom gave him a cookie...hmm.
Not the best picture of Ryan but its the only one we got with all of us in there. Bridger was in the worst mood the entire time we were there and Tim ended up getting a nasty cold the day we left. We need a vacation from vactioning.
My sweet grandparents. At the farewell, my grandpa sang Called To Serve in Spanish. I balled through the whole thing, of course.
I was so happy to spend some time with Paige. They live in Arizona now and I miss her so much. We talk on the phone everyday and dream about being next door neighbors. Some day.
Looks like such a fun time! I'm so glad you were all there for Ryan, and for each other. Now rest up and get back onto 'schedule'.
