TOBY JAY REDD came home from his mission in Maceio, Brazil!
We were bummed to be missing out on all the excitement, so at the spur of the moment, we decided we would drive up to Seattle to be with family!
It worked out perfectly that Christine had had her baby 2 days earlier and we would be driving right past her house! So we got to stop and visit the beautiful Smith family for a little bit!
Jack is such a great big brother! And sweet little Fisher is the most adorable thing ever!
Finally, after driving all through the night..and a lot of the day..we made it home!! We had only told Toby that we were coming so Keith and Cindy were pretty surprised! It was awesome!!
On Saturday, morning we all went to the temple together for the first time!! It was such an awesome experience, but we definitely missed Tyson, who was busy winning father of the year.
Later, we all went out to eat to celebrate Toby!
On Sunday, Toby gave the best Homecoming talk anyone has ever heard! He was such a great missionary, and is such a great man; we are so glad he's home now!
As a bonus, we got to spend a couple short hours with Tyson and the girls!
We love our cute, little nieces soo much!!
All in all, a great weekend! Well worth the 30 hours of driving!
Thank you, thank you sooooo much for coming and surprising us like that! I couldn't have imagined a better weekend, and you made it all possible. We're so glad you made it back safely, whew! What a long drive!
