Returned with Honor

After 2 years of faithful service in New York #1 son has returned home. We were all worried because of course mother nature stepped in to mess up the day with another winter storm. Flights had been cancelled into Calgary and Lethbridge so we were watching the internet flight udates constantly as we prepared to pick him up. We were blessed and his flight made it into Calgary and the Lethbridge flight was on schedule. We were going to see him at 7:50pm. As we pulled into the airport parking lot at 7:20my cell phone rang and Dustin informed us he had been bumped from his flight. He had already been seated on the plane but the people they were trying to get off would not leave and he heard over the radio that they should ask Mr. Tanner. So being the kind and so very tired person he was he got off and we didn't get to pick him up until Midnight. Crazy. What's funny is that was the original flight he had been scheduled on but we had changed it so he wouldn't be stuck in the airport for 7 hours. He finally arrived as did two other returning missionaries so it was a big celebration in the tiny Lethbridge airport. We are so happy to have him home. Now we'll watch him settle into life once again.

Oh-he looks so good and it is just so cute to see all the expressions on everyone's face as they are looking at him! Welcome Home Dustin! I bet you are still pinching yourself that he is there! Does he have a lot of stories to tell? Enjoy!!!

Dustin looks great...so exciting!! Jody's children on the other hand look homeless. They need to be holding up "Looking for Food" signs instead. hehe
