DEREK'S HOME!!!
He arrived home from his Australia Perth Mission on Aug. 23rd. Within a week he heads to BYUI in his loaded truck. Buddy took a weeks vacation to go with him. (I wish I could have gone!!!) He didn't have time to recoop much. He'll have to do it at school.
Here we are at the McCarren Airport. Derek is getting reacquainted with family and friends.

We all just can't believe Derek is standing before our eyes! He said he felt like it was a dream being all together again.

We all chit-chat while we wait for Derek's luggage. Enjoying every moment!!

Derek finally makes his home!

This is a family shot at the airport. Tolboe's and Morgans came too.

Derek with Dad and Mom.

This brought tears to all our eyes as he hugged Grandpa Williams. How blessed we are they he was able to come to the airport to see him.

Derek is coming down the escalators on the right. He's the one in a suit. I simply couldn't believe he was actually there!!! He was the only missionary that came in. The other people probably thought we were crazy because of our screaming, crying and our 3 big signs.

It's a good thing you can't see my face because I cried like a baby! Derek certainly held it all together. Doesn't he look great!
