Wes my little brother came home from his mission last Friday. His homecoming was definitely good it had been almost four years since we last saw each other. When I said goodbye to Wes I told him I did not want to see him for four years because I wanted him on his mission before I came home. He served an honorable two year mission in Concepcion Chile. When he walked off the plane he kept commenting on how big everyone had gotten and he looks at me and goes, "You have gotten smaller!" We both had a good laugh over that. It was good seeing Wes and hearing about his experiences that he had in Chile. My favorite was how he described electric showers. Wes also sounded like a latino for the first couple of days and we all had a good laugh listening to his english and his grammar. He is an amazing guy and it is very nice having him home. I do not think he understands just how much I look up to him and admire him. If you looked at us side by side you would say Wes was the older sibling and I would agree with that statement. The way he acts and holds himself is something that I have always admired about him. He truly is an amazing younger brother and when I think of Wes I am always drawn to the story of Nephi in the Book of Mormon. I love him very much and I am grateful that we will be at school together this upcoming year so we can hang out and so I can finally see him play baseball in almost five years. Another cool part with Wes coming home was the opportunity of seeing all of my nieces and nephews. I love all of them and this trip was the first time that Luke actually came to me when I called him and he gave me a hug. Luke is Cari's son and he is the cutest kid ever with his sweet hair. Anyways enjoy the pictures. We also golfed at Deer Creek which was pretty sweet and I hit the ball pretty well for the first time in over a year.

Such a sweet post, Mitch. It brought tears to my eyes. Of course, I'm prengant and emotional and just said good-bye to my husband at the airport, but besides all of that I think I still would have gotten teary eyed!

I check this blog. About time you updated it. ;) I'm excited about you heading back out to school this fall. You have some big goals, but you will do great!
What a great tribute to Wes. YOU are amazing too.
