There are no words to describe the feeling I had watching him come down that escalator. I felt such a huge relief. In the few days before he came home, I felt joy, because I was going to see him after such a long time. I was sad, because he was leaving a place and people that he loved so much (and it's not like he can just hop in the car and drive to see them!). I felt sad because it was so nice to have a missionary out serving, because our family was showered with so many blessings. But relief is what I felt when I saw him. There was such a feeling of completeness - our whole family is here again. I guess you don't realize how imcomplete you feel until they come back. It's almost like I held my breath for 2 years and I could finally breath again.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the reunion - he looks so great!

He looks great! Enjoy having your family together. Thanks for posting pictures.
Okay, this is not what "blog-hoppin" is supposed to be about--tears, I mean.
Just stirred up memories of my daughter who came home last April 3 from NJ.
I was a complete bawl-baby in the airport.
Isn't it just so good to have them home? I think I stared at both of my RM's for a good two weeks before I could stop staring. Having them back home is such a relief. Congratulations!
Woot woot! Three cheers for two years!
I was so emotional reading your post. Congratulations on his safe return. Loved the pictures!
