Hilary has her RM!

Hilary Hunt's Missionary came home January 23, 2013! This is directly from her blog post in case you missed reading the story, or if you are just in the mode to hear about another happy ending to a long two years! They do come home ladies! We are so happy for you Hilary! (:

so happy. the only way i can describe how i am feeling is SOOO HAAAPPPYYY. overwhelmingly happy.
my dallin came home from his honorable 2 year mission in Nashville Tennessee yesterday, january 23rd.
the bestie tayler and my mom took pictures at the airport for me, so his family and i could have our hands empty!
 tayler slept over with me the night before, i couldn't sleep OBVIOUSLY, so we stayed up to watch gossip girl and paint nails. and i had to nervous clean haha. thats just what i do! she fell asleep and i laid there aalll night. way too excited. we got up and got ready and left way early, which happened to be the best time to get there :) plus his flight was 13 minutes early! and we enjoyed some kevas on the way :)

getting to the airport it got even more real. i think that i kind of didn't believe that all this good luck was happening to me? we pulled up to the airport and i thought my hands couldn't shake any harder haha :) and then they did!

thank goodness for these things. they slowed me down! otherwise i would have been running :) but we hopped on and took our time :)

nashville: landed!!!! scream

his cute mom :) couldn't stop crying of excitement long enough for a picture :)

too excited

here he comes!!!

ps there was a TON of missionaries at the airport! every time we saw suit pants get on the escalator we screamed and then as they came down and their head came into view, sighed. until: :)

hugging mom

hugging grandma sharp

literally trying to hold myself together. thought my heart was going to explode

having to stop hugging: the worst!

mom again :)

ah the excitement

grandma sharp

his dad :)

my mom :)

best handshake ever :)

on the moving sidewalk :)

seriously so excited

driving!

how cute is this. his mom rented this freeway sign

we got home at about 11:30, and he wasn't getting released until 5:30!! longest hours EVER. for everyone. dallin and i did figure out what to do though. high fives! we couldn't have any games or movies or music going while he was still an elder, and really couldn't do much else! everyone was too anxious to eat. so we sat and stared at him! thats when all this notsleepingallweek thing kicked in haha. exhausted! when it was time to get released, we met with his stake president who had a nice chat and lots of lovely things to say, and  then released him with an amazing blessing. dallin took off his tags, and we got in the car. 

and guess what. we held hands! i have been waiting for 2 years to do that!! you can guess what happened next :)

we went home to change out of church clothes and went to dinner with his family! then all watched avengers. it was such an amazing day! i am so thankful for all that he has done these past two years! 

but i am so so happy to have him home! and things are absolutely wonderful. its like he never left, but better.

on the way to dinner with the family

cute sign my family made for our house!

the ending to such a perfect day! and can't wait to have a million more! i went to bed last night with a good night text, and woke up this morning to a good morning text!! i am in heaven. i've missed him so much. its so good to have him here :)

so happy and so in love.
