Nearly twenty-four years ago I complete 18 months of service as a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that helped shape my life immeasurably. I attended a mission reunion in Salt Lake City on Friday night, with more than 200 in attendance. The evening was so much fun. My only issues were that I showed up two hours late, thanks to a delayed flight from Denver, and I felt the night was too short, and the fact that my camera battery died just after I got there. Still a wonderful weekend trip I took alone, and left the family behind to miss me a few days. I'll summarize my travels in the following pictures and brief descriptions BELOW each image. Enjoy!

I totally agree with Jennie, you do look so great in all of those pictures. Glad to have you back.
And what a bummer about your camera battery! I just can't handle camera issues like that. They happen to me a lot more often than I would like! Like driving two hours to take Adam to see and ride the "real" Thomas the Tank Engine and going to take a picture of him next to the train and then have your camera say "No memory card", then I open it to find it empty and then there is NO place in all of Heber City to buy a memory card! Wahhh! I'm still not over that one as you can tell.
You may or may not have noticed, but I have revived my blog. You may or may not want to drop by for a look.
