Neal's brother Nephi, finally got home from serving a 2 year mission in Toronto, Canada. On January 4th, Nephi was supposed to fly into the IF airport at 5:30 pm. Tim and Kira (Neal's sister and husband) were driving up from SLC for this and their car breaks down. Don't worry they made it in time. Nephi called a little after 5:00 and told us that his plane was delayed and he wouldn't be flying in until 8:45 pm. We arrived at the airport and as we walked in we heard over the speakers, no flights will be leaving or landing the airport due to slick runway conditions...there's no way they'd do that when his plane is right over head. Well, Nephi's plane headed back to SLC. All the family and friends that were there were so disappointed that they wouldn't get to see Nephi. But, we were determined to get him home, we were willing to drive to SLC to get him. But Neal, being a hero, thinks to call the shuttle place and got the last shuttle and one of the last seats out, so that Nephi could get home. So at 2:30 am January 5th, Nephi's shuttle pulled into the gas station across from the Olive Garden...what a welcome home! :) We sure are glad you're home Nephi! We stayed up and did Christmas with Neal's family and by 6:30 am we were all pooped! It was a great Christmas!!!
