One Year Ago Today...

my dad and I boarded the first of three planes bound for Vietnam to bring home Levi. I can hardly believe that it has been a year already. By this point we were nearing the LA airport. That airport is the most confusing airport. I'm sure if my dad reads this he will be getting quite a chuckle because we had a difficult time finding the international terminal and ended up in a place we probably weren't supposed to be. Thankfully we did make all of our connecting flights!!
