8 Years Ago..


Around this time 8 years ago, we were off to the airport to pick up Bryan, who was returning from his 2 year mission in Brazil. When I look at these pictures, it just doesn't seem that long ago. I remember this day so clearly! We were all so nervous and so excited! ( I think Bre might have been the most nervous!) Time flies! Now Bry and Bre have beautiful son, and Bryan will be graduating from NYU in May! They have accomplished a lot in the last 8 years and we are incredibly proud of them both!
Here are just a few of my favorite memories of that special day!
No explanation needed...

We took this picture the day Bryan left FOR BrazilCompare it to this one on the day he came home! Look at their faces! That says it all!
This is one of my favorite pictures of Bry and Bre. (Does she look a little flushed?)

I guess it won't be long until we do this again. Within a few months Sean will be old enough to leave on a mission. He's not sure when he will put his papers in. He might turn them in this summer, or he might go to school for a semester first. This just doesn't seem possible!
Time really does fly...unless you're the mother of a missionary!

That is crazy, those are the cutest pictures!!! That last one where they are holding hands is darling. I seriously can't believe that Jared and Sean are ready for college and missions...they seem way too young to me! :)

Ahhh, it doesn't seem that long ago to me either. We were taking a walk the other night (honeslty like 2 nights ago) and Bryan was saying how weird it was to come home to Nick being so huge, he said "no really it took some serious adjustment" For Sean maybe it will be Steele 2 1/2 years old is a big change from 5 months! Sean will probably still be taller though!
