The Return...
So this really was so awesome, I can't even begin to tell you the Joy I felt seeing my parents for the first time again. As soon as we saw them at the top of the escalator the airport was filled with screams that echoed throughout the whole baggage claim area, and then the tears followed and it was seriously a Totally awesome Reunion!! It gave me a little glimpse into what it is going to be like when we return home to our Heavenly Father, What a blessing the Gospel is to me and the knowledge that I have of being with my family forever, I don't know how others get through this life without knowing it! I guess that is part of the reason we are here is to let these people know about this amazing Gospel! I am so happy to have my parents home and am so grateful for their service and their example!

We had family shirts made that said Anderson on the front and then the back is the number in which you came into the family. We really stood out in these shirts and as we were walking into the airport somebody said oh look it's another Anderson!

I don't know if it's just cause I am pregnant or what but I am totally choked up right now. I love your parents/entire family so much. So fun to see them all together!
Okay, that made me emotional! What a beautiful day!
