Returned...

last week Elder Dillon Rowley returned home from his mission

for 6 months.

I'm so happy that I got to be there to witness all the love that greeted him.

His beloved grandparents, Ross and Marion...

in those 15 months that he was gone 1 cousin became a father,

one cousin got married...

one cousin got engaged,

his family not only showered him with lei, but also love...

so proud of you Elder Rowley!

( little side note to this story:  since I was already in town for hula, I got to the 

airport first.  No one was showing up...started texting Coco and Sara...they were coming

from the North Shore and everyone was stuck in traffic.  I checked the board and

the plane landed...I still was the only one.  texting back and forth furiously they were

so close.  I started thinking how lame it would be if I was the only one...just me a friend 

without a lei.  His family made it there with only minutes to spare before he came down

the escalator...thank goodness!!!!)
