Murphy's Homecoming

We spent the morning packing and nursing Noah and Nicole's fevers with a nice medicine regiment, since they woke up sick too. We left just after lunch to stop by the airport and say hello to Murphy who returned home today from his mission. I just love that boy so much! It's pretty obvious the kids weren't feeling well, so we tried to be quick and spread the germs as little as possible. We said our good-byes to all the Nadaulds. It was definitely sad leaving them.

Then we started out on our journey home arriving in Susanville at about 10pm, Oregon time. We were going to stay at a hotel in Reno, but while trying to find a good spot just passed the city we ended up without any real options for lodging. So we continued driving a little over an hour to Susanville, rented a not-so-nice hotel, and left around 5am because it was hard to sleep there. There's something to say for spending a little bit more and getting something just a little bit nicer.

The kids were real troopers, despite all the aches and coughs.

Home never looked so good.

That's a sentiment I'm sure Murphy felt today too.
