The parentals are finally home! They rolled in today at about 4:45pm. It was so good to see them, I really have missed having them around for the past year. My mom kept saying "it's like we never left". They both looked so cute with their little missionary name tags on. I know they were such awesome missionaries. I'm so proud of them. I'm excited to hear about all their stories. For those of you who don't know, my parents served a mission in Rochester, NY for the past year. They loved it out there and have a great love for the people of Batavia, the town they served in. They were very close to Palmyra and got to visit the Palmyra Temple and the Sacred Grove often. My dad told us some neat stories about those 2 places. They also got to serve at the Hill Cumorah Pageant this year. They had their own little booth where they handed out pamphlets and answered questions and such. I know my mom really enjoyed that. She called me one night she was there just giddy as can be. I'm so grateful for the great examples they are to me. I've truly been blessed with wonderful parents. And it's so fun to have them back! Here are a few pictures from earlier today...
The welcome home cake...no I didn't make this one. It was funny how I started critiquing their work because I know some of the techniques and whatnot. The lady who taught my cake decorating class said we would start doing that. I hope I don't turn into a cake snob!
Wow. My dad makes me look pale.
All the chitlins were so eager to have cake and ice creams
These 3 girls are going to either be best friends or bitter enemies when they get older. They are definitely silly gooses, especially Katelyn(she's the one on the left giving a nice cheeser).
Me and my 2 favorite missionaries :)

You're so speedy on getting these pics up - how did you even get home already? Didn't we just leave you 2 hrs. ago in Centerville? By the way, is that someone's stomach in the background of the cake & ice cream photo? I think someone was lifting up their shirt - a boy, but I can't figure out who!
Yipee!! Welcome home to the Brench parents! I'm happy they're back and happy for you to have them back!
I think the "mystery stomach" is Ryan's, don't you think?
Wow you guys had a party! How fun! It was really fun seeing them still with their badges on.
You look so good in that picture with your parents. Nice and thin. Good work.
