Catch up time Jun-Oct 2011

I'm doing my darnedest (is that even a word?) to catch up for the year and become a regular blogger again. But one is not supposed to talk about being a regular blogger again or promising to blog because then it's just an instant set up for failure. Well, guess what?! That is not going to happen here, people! Here's 5 more months of our 2011. Yep, more to come.

Dillon's last week of the mission in June. Here he is with Brandon Allen, also from San Clemente, serving in Naga. They both look so skinny. I was kinda worried when I saw this picture of Dillon and kept staring at it imagining what he would look like in person.

My first hug when he arrived at LAX after waiting
for about 2 hours for him to come through customs. Heaven!

Together again! This was an AMAZING day!
