He's Coming Home

I can't believe it! Tomorrow morning I will be at the airport with a BIG smile on my face and a sign in my hands to welcome Mark home. I am 100% sure that I will cry (I'm about to just thinking about it).

Here are a few of my favorite memories of Mark's mission over the past 2 years:

• His first Christmas out he sent home 1 Christmas card to my house that I was supposed to share with everyone (including family members out of state...what in the world?)
  
• Seeing Mark both years on our drive to Cali for Christmas. We ate at Chipotle both times (according to Mark it's a tradition if you do it more than once)
• Mark's final email (word for word..."Family 2 John 1:12 Elder Schultz"
• His hilarious emails about biking
• The amazing letters that came home from people who's lives he has touched
• Knowing that he was out there doing the Lord's will and LOVING it
• Hearing my kids pray for him
  
• The fact that 6 kids were born while he was on his mission

I know there are a million more things that I love and want to document but I'm just so excited it's hard to remember....

Here are a few of the things we have planned for the next few days:

• Going to the airport bright and early in the morning
• George, Sherry and Danny all coming in town
• All 10 kids together again (it's been sooooo long since we've all been together)
  
• Family pictures
• Volleyball
• Boating/Swimming
• Going running with Sherry and/or Danny (everyone's invited)
  
• Hopefully going on a bike ride
  
• Lots and lots of computer gaming and board games for the boys (all night every night is what I've heard)
• Mark speaking in church on Sunday
• Heidi blessing baby Josephine on Sunday
• I get to have about 10 extra people sleeping at my house and couldn't be more excited
  

All the meals are planned and food assignments are handed out...all that's left to do is decorate signs and clean my house! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!
