He's finally home!!!

I can hardly believe that Jonny is finally home!! It has been a long two years but I am so grateful for all that he has learned and all that we have all been blessed with. I know that the things that he has learned he will use the rest of his life. Thanks for all of your support of him and our family.

Trip to Brazil

What an amazing trip we had!! We went to Brazil to pick Jonny up and had an awesome time. It was a long flight (about 30 hours one way with lay-overs!!) but well worth the trip. Before we picked up Jonny we went to Rio and Iguazu Falls. They were unbelievable and we had a great time. Then we picked Jonny up. I can't begin to explain how good it was to finally see him. Then we spent the next five days going to meet some of the people that he had met over the past two years. It was so great to see how much he loved the people and how much they loved him. When he started testifying of the gospel, we didn't need to know what he was saying because we could feel the spirit so strong we didn't need to know what the words were. Then the last day we spent with his mission President and his wife in the Porto Alegre Temple and at their home for dinner and a testimony meeting. We loved seeing the sites in Brazil but the best part of the trip was definitely meeting the people there and feeling of their love for Jonny and for the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are so strong and were such an example to me. It made me want to be better. It was a trip that we will never forget!

Trip to Yellowstone

Mom and Dad took us to Yellowstone to go snowmobiling. We had a great time but it was freezing as you can tell in the pictures. We went into the park one day and then snowmobiled for a couple of days. Danielle was making fun of my purple lipstick so the one of me and my nieces and Cameron are all of us showing off our purple lipstick! (Watchout Cameron!!) Sorry there are so many photos. We had such a great time and so many to choose from. We went up to Two Top and saw these amazing ice sculpures. The wind had blown so hard and made some great jumps for everyone to have fun on. I think that Josh could have stayed there all day. Thanks Mom and Dad again. It was great to have fun with everyone. We are headed to Brazil to get Jonny on Tuesday. Yeah!!! We can't wait.

Trip to San Diego

We went down to San Diego for my cousin's wedding. It was a great weekend. The temple there is so beautiful. We took some awesome bridal pictures of Brittany. You can see some of them on Nichole's blog.

Less than one month to go!

I can't believe that Jonny is almost home. I didn't think that day would ever come. We leave on March 17th to go down and get him, then he will be home on March 27th. I thought it would be good to post some of my favorite pictures of the past two years. He has had a great mission. He loves the people in Brazil and he his testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ has grown so much, I know that it will be hard for him to come home because he says there is so much work to be done there. But I will be so glad to get him home. For those of you that are interested, his homecoming will be on April 12th, Easter at 11:00. Not a great day for a homecoming but it was our only option because of General Conference. We are so grateful for the service that Jonny has given for the past two years and we are so grateful for the blessings that we have all received because of his service.
