After six very long months, the girls got to see Jordan again! Although Jason and I have visited Jordan, this was the first time since January 1 that the girls had seen (other than pictures) or talked to Jordan. I don't know who was more excited, Jordan or the girls.
I was admittedly nervous to see how our day together would unfold since so much time had passed, and since the kids hadn't gotten along so great before Jordan left for Utah. I needn't have worried, because not only did the kids get along better than they ever had, they actually LIKE eachother!
We spent our time off campus at Quail Creek (since Sand Hollow had swimmers itch). I lost count of how many times Jordan said, "This is such a great day." He was right, it WAS a great day.
I had more glimpses on our two-day visit of what an eternal family can be than I ever imagined. One of my favorite pictures from the weekend is of all the kids running off the end of the dock. I love the picture for so many reasons. First, they are holding hands. Second, they are doing something together. Third, they are truly happy. The picture is kind of a metaphor--they are running off into something deep, cold, and kind of unknown, but as long as they are together and happy, it doesn't matter--all is well.
