Well he is home. He looked great and it was absolutely so exciting to see what a great man he is. Everyone was there to see him come in. The kids had all made posters and we were all really excited. He of course was one of the last ones to get off the plane. We waited and waited and he finally showed up. We all visited at the airport then took him to be released. The Stake President interviewed him then invited Dave and I in. He told us that he knew that Matt had been an excellent missionary. He said that he had given two years plus everything he had to give. He gave him a lot of good advice. We then headed home. Rachel and Kendall had picked up
carne asada to cook. Some of Matt's friends came over to see him. It was just so great having him home. I am not sure that he thinks it is that great but we did. He seems a little lost and tired but I think it will be good.

Here I am saying no pictures. I was so nervous and I don't even know why. Everyone was laughing at how nervous I was.

Me getting my first hug in two years. I even cried and I rarely cried. It was just so great to see him.

Even the Bishop's wife got a hug. I think everyone in the airport got one. I hope there were no strangers sitting by us because they would have got one too.

Just catching up. Of course I was always close by

Telling
Brenan to hand over the keys.
Brenan didn't think that was too funny
It was a great experience. How thankful I am to Matt for giving our family this experience. I will miss having a missionary out in the field but it will be great to see the changes in Matt.

It was a great day, and Matt looks awesome. I told Hailey to watch when you hugged Matt becuase we would be seeing something that only happens about every 5 years or so. And I was right you cried.
Looks like it was an awesome reuniting!
Coming home is often bitter sweet for missionaries... and that's a good thing, to see how fully immersed they were in the mission. I am happy for you guys. You will have to come visit again so Lyndon can meet his other brother!
Matt looks great! We are going to try and be there on Sunday!
How exciting that he is home. Good luck with getting him back to normal now. It takes them a little while. I remember when my brothers came home how strange they were.
Ang, He looks so good. I'm so glad we came to his homecoming. You can tell he was an awesome missionary. It is quite the experience to have them come home, very emotional for a Mom. And, it is so great to have them in the mission field, so you are really torn. Love having him home because he will be gone before you know it.
The pictures look great. I am glad he is home. Sometimes I still think about all of us playing as little kids and can't believe how our lives have changed. Welcome home Matt.
