RETURNING WITH HONOR


Skyler returned home a week ago from the Manchester England Mission. My parents, Cody and Shayna were in England for about a week before picking Skyler up. Brooke and I along with Paul, Ashley and their girls, Grandma Poulton, Grammy, Uncle Marc and Kyle Grieder were all anxiously waiting at John Wayne Airport for his return home. We were all so excited to see Skyler that we totally forgot to take a family picture at the airport with him, but Brooke and I got this one as we waited for him to come down the escalator. It was an awesome reunion with our brother. We are so proud of him and grateful for his service. He has grown so much in the gospel. He seems to have a permanent smile on his face and you can feel the love he has for others and our Savior Jesus Christ.
Skyler's homecoming talk was inspiring and incredible. All those that were able to attend were truly blessed. If you weren't there you missed out.
Skyler was only home for about 5 days before he had to leave for Utah to prepare for the fall semester at BYU. We know that he will continue to be focused and dedicated to everything he does. We wish him the best as he returns to school and also the football field.
We love you Skyler!
