He Has Arrived. Meow.

July 11 finally came, and this is pretty much what it looked like;


Passing the "Welcome Home Elder Hagee" sign Jennifer made as we left for the airport.




We (ahum, Harlow) were a little excited and left for the airport WAY too early. We then ended up standing and waiting for almost two hours... I know, shoot me. Oh, and to make it even more enjoyable we decided to skip lunch to make sure we didn't miss standing for two hours Billy walking out, so we also didn't feel well. Pretty much the last two pictures illustrate how Jack acted the entire time. It was awesome. Also, thanks for the pose(?) lady in the green shirt.



Finally, after two years (and two long hours at the airport) he arrived! Elder Hagee came running out and we all cheered and ran to him - minus Gramme but she's 87 so she has an excuse.



This was before we left for Billy to be released and then hit up Pappasitos to celebrate.



Since he has been home we've had so much fun being all together again. We listen to stories about the Ukraine, hear Billy "accidentally" speak in Russian, go out to eat at Billy's favorite eateries and spend our nights laughing until our stomachs hurt going through the videos on the blog we made for him while he was gone. Life is good.
