Ok, so I'm not the best blogger out there. I do however try and touch on the really significant events of our lives. One of those events took place on Monday when Elder Richard Campbell III returned home from serving in Spokane Washington Mission. We couldn't believe it was 2 years ago that he left. Seems like it was just yesterday. We were all excited to see him and wondering how he had changed. It was so exciting to see him walk down the corridor to where we were all waiting. I can just imagine the emotions that Rick and Robin must have felt watching their son return from serving an honorable mission. We are all so proud of Ricky and can't wait to hear all the stories of his adventures as a missionary. As far as change, other than being a little more mature, he returned pretty much the same handsome young man that left. Ricky doesn't like to be the center of attention and all the hoopla of balloons and lots of family didn't change his humble quiet demeanor. He seemed to be a fish out of water and almost uncomfortable with all the attention. It will take a while for him to adjust back to life outside of the mission field. How exciting to watch as he now gets to make choices that will change the rest of his life. Great Accomplishment Elder Campbell we are all so proud of you! Now for the pictures, my camera wasn't working great and everytime I had the perfect shot - without fail someone would walk in from of the camera with balloons. Here's a few I did manage to capture.
How much longer? Hannah and Robin anxiously await the arrival.
No one was more anxious than Noah. Noah dressed as Elder Campbell for Halloween and wore his suit and nametag to school. He got to answer lots of questions. He's already on track to be a great missionary...just like his older brother.
Finally it's here!
The first sight of Elder Campbell as he walks down the corridor. This was before he saw the crowd waiting for him.
A big hug from Mom!
Proud Dad.
Look at that grin with Boomp & Gramma Dell.
A brothers love? Elder Campbell isn't too sure about all the love.
Quick snap it before those balloons get in the way.
The sign says it all. What a great day!
