Last weekend I got to visit my hometown, Des Moines, IA. (David visited his hometown too!)

It had been almost two years since I visited, so it was definitely time.

I got to see my friend Laura and her new daughter, Ella! There was also a baby shower for my friends Matt & Ashley and hanging out with other friends too. I also got to meet my parents’ (potential) new dog, Libby. She was really sweet.

On Sunday I saw lots of people at church that I hadn’t seen in a long time. The kids were all transformed. It was a little surreal.
