SHE'S HOME!
Just a few pics of Kyleigh's last days of her mish....
saying goodbye to the cute LDS Vietnamese couple
Elder Orendorff...
He is the only one left behind in Busan from their MTC district...awe ):
Office Missionaries
a former companion Sis. Park
Poor Elder Mitchell offered to carry it... if she carried his guitar...
thus the musical instrument on her back. ;)
on the KTX....Korea's High Speed Express Train...
The day she headed back to the USA!
a 12 1/2 hour flight for her!
BACK AT HOME!!!!
decorating ours and neighbor's trees with yellow ribbons...
Kyleigh's beloved and hole-y p.j. bottoms that she had for years and wouldn't throw away...got turned into a pillow.
Thanks to great Aunt Jill. ;)
We had some shopping to do...for new p.j. bottoms, phone, and something to wear to the family wedding... that wouldn't smell like Korea. hehe
Ordered her favorite old fashioned
blue berry
donuts.
{All 81 weeks worth.}
It was such an exciting day, couple of days actually.
Loved these reminders from Hannah, Emma, the hubs and myself that THE DAY had finally come.
And the sweet texts received from friends that were so happy for us!
My countdown!!!
The welcome home committee!
We wondered if she had missed her flight in Seattle.
And then there she was!
See this guy?
He was hilarious!
He was acting like we were hoot'in and hollering for him..
Kyleigh is just up above him to the right. :)
Big family hug!
Kyleigh has awesome girlfriends that gave her such amazing support while she was gone...
My niece caught the reunion on video...slo-mo!
The next morning we got to attend my nephew's wedding ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple!
Kyleigh was so ecstatic that she could be home for that..
Reception that night at the The Falls in Trolley Square
Cousins together again! ;)
Wait'in for Emily to return in April.
Kyleigh got pulled onto the dance floor by one of her cousin's friends.
Oh gosh! Too too funny!
The whole day was a whirlwind!
The hubs and I were downtown three separate times that day. The three older girls also had hair appts for waaaaay overdue cuts and color.
They were waiting for Ky to get home! Kyleigh hadn't had any type of haircut in a yr and a half.
No hair appliances either while in Korea.
She had Hagrid hair most her mission. :0
{drove this mama crazy}
The following day some emergency shopping was in order...
Ky getting her groove on to Korean K-pop music.
Sister missionaries in Korea hold hands.
The Elders hold hands.
What????
So no big deal for Kyleigh to grab her sister's hand or mine while we are out and about.
Emma will have no part in that, whatsoever...it's hilarious!
Make over...
shoe shopping...
AND her friends who have been over multiple times since she got home...
so fun to see them together again.
Friday night was the Ward Christmas Party.
Two of Hannah's friends performed with the Madrigals...
Saturday morning I attended a Christmas brunch with the neighborhood ladies.
We had to bring some of our favorite things to exchange.
I brought a Hallmark Christmas movie,
{I'm obsessed with those}
My favorite lemon water with a Lara Bar,
and Paris note cards with a Paris themed hand sanitizer. ;)
Kyleigh went to lunch with her cousin...
Guess who?
I died.
She went with her good buddy Blake.
{So it wasn't awkward.}
She had to get all dressed up nice.
The rest of us went out to eat for Indian food with dad before Hannie left on her date.
haha the kids were going every which way...
We are just loving Ky home!!!
She brings an added energy to the house.
So fun!
We've already been on a sushi run together. ;)
She helped me finish decorating G-ma Bell's tree!
;)
