My Mission Reunion

I have been home from my mission for almost 5 years now (in December) and have never been able to go to my mission reunion. This year I decided that I was going no matter what. We planned on coming up to Utah and staying with my brother, Mike, and his family. We left on Friday morning and drove all morning and part of the afternoon to get here. We hung out with Mike and his family for a little bit and then headed off for my reunion. I was so excited to be able to see my Mission President and his wife. I didn't know if any of my companions would be there or other missionaries I knew, but I mainly wanted to see President Knudson and his wife. We were there maybe 10 to 15 minutes and had said hello to my Mission President and had just gotten our dinner and sat down to eat. Tag acted like he was going to gag on some food, but instead he throws up all over me. I am not talking about a little bit of throw up, but he threw up 4 times and it was all over me. My thighs were completely soaked in throw up and so were Tags' pants, sweater, and socks. There was a little bit on the floor, but it was mainly all over me. It smelled horrible and I think it was everything he had eaten for the day! Josh just looked at me and said, "What do you want me to do?" At that point I wasn't sure where to start, so I stripped Tag down to his onesie (sp)(thank goodness it was dry). Josh went and got some paper towels and I began to mop up the mess! I had curdled milk all over me and it was a little difficult to clean up, but I did the best I could. I felt bad for everyone there, because it smelled sooooo bad! I hadn't seen Sister Knudson yet, so I quickly said hello and told her I had to leave because I had throw up all over me! I wish we could have stayed longer, but that's life. I am just happy that we were able to at least say hello!

Isn't it ironic that the one time we finally make the 5 hour drive that we only get to stay for 10 minutes! Tag, you have great timing! Poor Josh had to drive about 30 minutes home with the overwhelming smell of throw up in the truck! I had to wash my hands several times to get the smell out of them! Needless to say, Tag was much happier after he threw up and he has been fine the rest of the weekend. I just hope we can make it home without any problems!

We had a great time with Mike, Brita, Ashlynn, and Carson! Ty and Ashlynn have had fun playing together and Josh was able to take the concealed weapons class while he was here! We have had a great time and now we will be able to enjoy the morning session of General Conference!
