Sister Rohwer is Home


So my sister has been experiencing some serious stomach pains and issues and has been pretty miserable the last couple of months. She has loved the missionary work but has really struggled because of being so sick all of the time. She met with some doctors in Florida, but after a lot of thinking, praying and counseling with her mission president and my parents the decision was made for her to come home. Her mission president is an amazing man that said, "her time is done and she has done all she was sent here to do" He made sure that when she left she was feeling no guilt for coming home earlier than anticipated and that she served a wonderful mission and was an outstanding missionary. So, with that said, she is now home and I was so excited and happy to see her.


Waiting patiently for her to get off the plane and come down the escalator.




My parents were the first to greet her and hug her tight. We all then followed and were all so happy to see her.




My kids were more than excited to see their Aunt Laurley!




That day we stopped and got something to eat on the way home at Zupa's and then went to my parents house where we all hung out and talked to Laur.  She was released later in the evening. It is so good to have her home.


She had only been home a couple of days and Drake was already asking to have a sleepover. He got his wish and was so happy about it.

She also got home just in time to come with Drake and I to see the musical Mary Poppins. It was so good and one of the best performances I have ever seen. It was done by a local group here in Logan and they performed it at Sky View High School.  It seriously was so amazing and so well done. We went to eat first and then went to the show where Drake didn't get bored once, he loved it!


My friend Celeste was in the show and did a phenomenal job.


A good friend of mine from High School, Ty Whitesides who is now a famous author was Bert.  He did such a great job and was so fun to watch.  Drake loved watching him and was jealous he got to be close to Mary Poppins.  It was a great nice, and I am so happy my sister was home to enjoy it with me.
