One of my best friends, Alyx, asked me if I would take some photographs for her. Her husband, Spencer, has been serving in the military for the past year in Afghanistan. I was honored that she asked me to come take photographs at his homecoming. It was such a neat experience to be there. I always tear up when I see military families reunited on the news. It was such a joyous and happy event and I am so glad that I could be there. Jayden was sad that he couldn't make it, but I am grateful that my mom came and helped me watch Gavin so I could take photographs.

While we were waiting:

Alyx and her mom Laura

Spencer's parents
