Danny's homecoming

-
On December 4th 2012, my brother Daniel Cruz returned from his mission. We were able to go to the airport to welcome him home. It was SO fun to be at the airport. There were a TON of people all waiting for the same reason: missionaries!! As soon as they were coming down the escalators, we cheered! I felt SO happy to see my brother again. What a rush of excitement!

From left to right: My brothers Joseph, Nephi, Danny, our son Samuel, Danny's friends, Taylor and Franklin and Roberto's brother Aaron. 





When Danny saw my dad and hugged him, they hugged for what seemed like 3 minutes. I have never seen them hug for so long. It was so touching. What a blessing for our family!

I am SO grateful that we were there for that moment. It would have been a bummer if we would have been living somewhere else far away.

Danny's been adjusting to post-mission life just fine. His personality is pretty much the same as before he left. He's cool like that.

Hello there to all our family and friends. This is our first blog and we are excited to join all you bloggers out there! Since this is the first post, I thought I would just give a quick summary of our life right now. Roberto and I are currently in Rexburg, Idaho where we are both attending BYU-Idaho. This time of year we are off from school, so Roberto is working, doing landscaping and taking two night classes and I am looking for a job. We have been married for a little over a year and we are loving every moment together. Looking for a job in Rexburg has been tough (I've been looking since July), but in the mean time it has been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow from those around me. Recently I was able to find a temporary position for someone handing out flyers for their new website. Their paying me $50 bucks to do it! So I'm glad it's something. Other than that, I usually visit other people who are home all day, so if you want company, let me know! :) Roberto

I really don't want to talk about this because I feel like a broken record. Some of you may already know about this struggle I am about to spill over about. Why am I writing this? I don't know for sure really. Maybe it's for me. Maybe it's for you. Well, here it goes. Why is the title of my post "2 years ago"? Well, that's because that's how long I've been waiting. That's how long I've been wanting. Yes, I want another child. Why hasn't it happened yet? I'm not sure. A LOT has happened in the past 2 years. My body has gone through A LOT just this past year alone (Addison's). I understand that. Kind of. But it still doesn't change how I feel about having another baby. This past weekend we had Stake Conference (it's a bigger church meeting) and at the Saturday evening session, a woman shared a story about her daughter, who had to wait 11 years to adopt her 2 children and have them sealed to her in the temple. She als
