I remember on the last day of my mission I had an exit interview with my mission President. He asked me if I considered my mission to be the best year and a half of my life. Without a doubt or a second's hesitation I honestly said yes. He then looked at me seriously and said, "In a couple of years if you can still say this is the best year and a half of your life....then you are doing something wrong." I'm not kidding, I almost felt like he had said something blasphemous. I thought, how on earth could anything get better than this? How could anything else make me work so hard, have so much joy, and feel such utter contentment?Well my friends, it's almost five years later, and I can tell you he was right. I thought life back then was good. I can definitely now say the last year and a half has been the best, even better than the mission. I not only have the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and am able to share it with others, but I also have a couple loves in my life that have multiplied my joy, and utter contentment to a level beyond description. The pictures can do the talking......

President Olsen is such a wise man. I still can't believe it's been 5 years since our crazy times! You have a beautiful family.
Awesome pictures of your main "squeezes"!! I'm glad you are all together again and enjoying some great fun times!! It's hard to be apart, but it does make the reunion all the better!! Best of luck at BYU!!
