MaRGie’S HOME!

Ok I know that this is news post is a little old to begin with, but I wanted to post something about my sister Margie coming home from her mission in CHILE and about my week vacation that I got to spend with my family.

First off: MARGIE IS HOME!!! Yeah! She flew in to Boise Idaho on June 23, 2009. She got home around 12:20pm. She looks so good and is talking Spanish like we all know what she is saying. In all honesty… I only pretend to know what she is talking about and then I move on with life. Margie has been very fun to be around during this adjustment time... the first thing she did when she got home was get a glass of REAL 100% Cow milk (fresh from the cow and into our fridge) and sit on the carpet to drink it. She has also been going thru the cupboards in our kitchen and saying wow you have crackers, cheese, cold cereal, peanut butter... and much, much more. She gave a wonderful talk about her mission last Sunday, and I have enjoyed learning all about her mission, she had a great time and like most missionaries she wants to go back. Here are some pictures from her arrival off the airplane.

Margie is here!

Also since Margie was coming home and Stewart and I are moving to WV here in a few weeks I wanted to spend some time with my family home on the farm one last time. So on Monday before Margie came home Stewart dropped me off in Burley where my Mom and Sister Katie picked me up so I could spend the week in Bruneau. During my week at home on the farm I went on walks around the farm, helped around the house because my mom got the flu, and a lot of things I have missed doing since I am always at work (so it seems). Here are some pictures from my weeks stay.
