There's No Place Like Home!

Being at home for a whole month and a half was fabulous!  I chose not to give you a detailed blog account of everything we did when we were back because this is our Australian Adventure documentation. I will post some pictures of some of the highlights of our time home though.  It was so nice to catch up and spend time with family and friends.  I still had several more people to see and things to do but it was impossible.  I was already exhausted by the end of the first week of events!  Thank you to my mom and dad for letting me move back in and for putting up with my crazy social calendar! 

Luke had to work a lot which made his two week visit feel much shorter, but we have awesome family and friends who made it possible for him to spend time with many of you.  We really appreciated the dinners, lunches, the places to stay, and the many, many events that we were able to attend.  Thank you for a very special time at HOME! 

My little helpers at the airport when I arrived back to KC

I got a very nice Welcome Home sign!  Luke got one, too when he arrived a month later.  :)

Great day!

At one of Angie's showers I made her a special veil and she was such a good sport and wore it almost the whole night! :)

Fun Night!
