We had the privilege of having two of my step-siblings, Melissa and Christian over, while they were in town for training. They are both in the foreign service as well, with Melissa on her way to India and Christian has been in Taiwan for 2 years already with a few more to go. We'll get to see his wife Jenny and their kids while we're in Utah! Melissa brought over an amazing looking, and wonderfully delicious pie according to all of the gluten and sugar eaters! Bri made his famous tacos which is our family tradition on Sundays when we're feeling lazy and want something good. Christian went to church with us first while Melissa went to the singles ward and then we hooked up for dinner and conversation. So fun and easy to visit and talk about our lives in the foreign service. Nice to have family that understands the ins and outs, ups and downs of this life! Thanks for the visit and pie! XOXO
