Family Temple Day

Marcus got home from his mission on the 31st of January and I was fortunate enough to be able to go home and see him the next weekend. I also went through the temple (Columbia River Washington) and it was a very special experience being with so many members of my family. Marcus is the same old guy and it is great to have him home!
