Good to be home

We have spent the last 8 days in Arkansas with Aaron's family. His parents just had their 50Th wedding anniversary and all the kids drove and flew out to surprise them with a party. They did know that something was up.... but didn't know to what extent. Needless to say, we got em'.

We reserved the church and invited 2 different wards, old work people and family came from Michigan to Idaho. We had a reception and decorated the gym (best we could) and had photos all over the place, old and new. We had a display table of their talents, and we had people who could not come wrote letters of memories they had. We even had a web site set up.

It was fun getting reacquainted with our cousins and meeting some for the first time. We all ate a ton, laughed alot and enjoyed each other all week.

So with the exception of our luggage getting lost in Denver, all went pretty well planned and even the weather cooperated until the last day as we flew out, Arkansas had 25 tornadoes touch down with 7 fatalities. I can't believe that we were even able to take off. I guess we were really being watched over.

Mitchell even met his red-neck uncle Andy who would'nt let him down whenever he was around.
