Blake is HOME!
My youngest brother Blake got home from his mission on Nov. 19th. He was in the Mexico City East mission, and he "came home" to my mom's house in Hanna City IL. I say "came home" because he had never been there before, as my mom remarried and moved to IL while he was gone! But most of his family made the trip out and we think he felt "home" enough. He looked great and sounded very Mexican. One of the first things he said to me was "Wow, you kids are so pale!" It was very funny to listen to him, as he didn't just learn Spanish, I think he forgot English! He did not have any English speaking companions, and litterally only spoke Spanish the whole time. It was fun to hear all of his stories...even if he did speak a little slowly as he translated in his head. During his homecoming talk he was saying who he was and forgot my mom's new last name for a moment and that was pretty funny! But the whole trip was a success, and it was great to see him back in the US!

So it's been like 12 years since T.J. came home and we sang at his farewell! I think Blake looks a lot like T.J. What was it you used to call him? Like pookers or something.LOL So email me more about your mom! How's the pregnancy going this time? Drop me an email.
