Welcome Home Anziano Perkins

* I know it has taken me forever to get these posted, but what can I say.. I am busy gal, just like all of the other mothers out there. Well it was so exciting seeing Joey for the first time in 2 years. We were waiting anxiously for Joey to walk out to baggage claim with about 3 other missionary families. And we would see a missionary from afar and it wasn't joey, so the next one came out and it wasn't Joey, but the third time it was him, and Alyssa, my mom and I all ran to him and we just hugged the living heck out of him. Of course we were all bawling, with my dad in the background taking pictures and bawling himself. It was a great day. My other brother Robbey was there, as well as my Grandma Ruth, who we don't get to see too often, so it was very special. I am so proud of Joey for serving a faithful mission in Rome, Italy. It was so great to be able to spend his first week back at home with him (sorry we took your room and your bed). Just imagine that he comes home after being gone for two years and doesn't even have a bedroom. Anyways, all I can say is that I am so blessed to have my family, and the family I married into. Life is Good.... We love you Joey ! Welcome Home to America!

I can't believe your brother is off his mission! He's supposed to be like 10 years old still!

Thanksgiving Day...

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and so has my family. We were so blessed to be able to have them come out from Utah to join us (even if it was for 3 short days). We had so much fun just being together and hanging out. Steve made the turkey which was really impressive and the rest of us all pitched in to make the meal a delight. Bette's yams are always one of the favorites of the meal.We also got more aquainted with the WII, especially Sky's g-pa. He was so fun to watch at tennis.. We did miss Kip & Katie who were in Utah and my bro. Robby (who is now devoting his life to delivering christmas packages for Fed Ex..who knows he may just drop something by at your house! I love the holidays and I am so grateful to be able to share it with those I love most!
