On November 4, 2008 our Elder Aaron Phillips returned home with
honor. It was one of the most exciting days for our family!
We waited patiently at the Salt Lake Airport for him to arrive.
(Thanks Babe for being the Photographer and Video Taper!)
Finally, after 2 years in waiting our Brother and Son
arrived! It was so good to see him. He hadn't changed much just
got taller. He definitely was a new and improved man though!
We all were so excited and happy to be with him finally.
After leaving the airport, we headed to the Gateway
Mall to get one of our favorite treats, a carmel apple!
I thought it was so funny that while we were at the Mall,
Aaron made the comment that everyone was so pretty
here compared to those in Arkansas!
For dinner, we took Aaron to our family's favorite
resturant, Tepanyaki! The food was amazing and it was
so good to just listen to Aaron.
After we got home that night, we had a couple of surprises
for Aaron! First, a new cell phone!
An Ipod!
A quilt with some of this mission pictures.
And last but not least, Nathan and I's big suprise!
Aaron will be an Uncle in April! Nathan and I are expecting
our first little baby April 7, 2009! We are so excited!
We had already told the rest of our family about our new
little one, but we were waiting to tell Aaron in person when he
got home. I know a lot of you were wondering if we were ever
going to post about it, but we just didn't want Aaron to find out
through our blog. So sorry it took so long!
Welcome Home Aaron, it is so good to have you back.
I have enjoyed spending time with you and hearing
all the wonderful things you have been doing the past
2 years. Love ya bro!
Nathan and I are so excited to become a Dad and Mom!
We can't wait for our little one to come. Hope everyone
votes on our poll whether it is a boy or girl, because we
will be letting you know very soon.
BOY!!!
