elder hill

this is my little bro......


he just got home from serving a 2 year mission in the little rock, arkansas area, and he's pretty much awesome! we have missed him sooooo much, and it's soooooo good to have him home and to have our family back together againg! 2 years is a long time, and although i'm not sure if it flew by or went extremely slowly, i'm just glad it's over!



we all loaded up and headed to calgary yesterday to pick him up, and the experience lived up to all of our expectations! we were just chillin and calm, cool, and collected til we saw that his flight had arrived - then the butterflies and nerves and anxiousness hit! we were all up and pacing and watching every baggage cart come through the door to see if it was attached to our stud of a brother! when he finally came through those doors, we all lost it! the tears were flowing, the feet were moving, and the hugs were endless!





this was the 1st meeting between cars and beckam, and i'd say it was a success! becks wasn't too sure to begin with.......


but i'd say this cute little kiss means they will be bestest friends and will spend lots of time together now that cars is home, and i'm so excited!


it feels so good to have the void of missing our only brother gone, and it's so fun to look over and see him sitting across the room with his short hair cut and southern accent :)



i'm so proud of this guy. he was an amazing missionary and touched the lives of many, and i can't wait to see where life takes him next! i'm so proud to be his sister and am thankful for the blessings that came into our lives because of his selfless service. thanks cars! thanks for being the bestest brother ever and for coming home an even more honorable stand up guy than you were before! love you eleventy four!

Yay!!! I tear up just thinking of missionary homecomings. I was 10 when my brother came home from his mission and that was pre 9/11, so we were at the door when the plane landed. I snuck up to the front and I was the first one to see him. There is a picture of me bawling. It is the best, most amazing feeling to have your brother back home and sitting across the room. Enjoy every minute with him!!
