It's still not as awkward as the video of the guy hugging his mom for 35 minutes.

a couple of weeks ago I was flying out to an interview on a Thursday evening as a plane with 12-15 returning missionaries had just landed. They were all standing around the entrance to that sports/jersey store at the exit from terminal 2/C gates. I chatted one of the guys up and asked it they were all waiting for transfers, and I was told that no, they were all ending in Salt Lake, they just spaced their arrival down the escalator to the baggage return area so that each elder and his family has a proper homecoming video with him being the sole returning missionary in frame. And sure enough, they spaced their departures out of the terminal at about every three minutes. NO WAY I'd be the guy waiting for forty-five minutes so that everyone got a nice video of just them coming home - a video that you'd actually care about for all of a week or two. I'd be walking straight out. Period. If the others didn't like it then they'd let me go first...Comment

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Danimal proposed two weeks after he got home. Five of those 14 days I was in California away from him.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Wow. That video made me run quite the gamut of negative emotions! At first, I angrily thought- "wow- way to sabotage his homecoming." Then when he wheels around and grabs a little ring of his own and kneels right there in the terminal, I sadly thought "I guess she merely beat him to the punch; he was already planning on ruining it." I then anxiously wondered if I could persuade my fellow Mormons to be less embarrassing or at least confine their supremely embarrassing behavior to private spaces. Why was the song and dance, incorrectly labeled as a "flash mob," necessary? Is it that thing of where Mormons have to have a wacky way of asking a girl to a dance or have a crazy idea for a date? Of course. And it can't not be embarrassing.
Finally, I judgingly contemplated what kind of horrifically awful missionary he must have been and how terrible it would have been to have this guy as a companion. The piece mentions that he was only allowed to contact his sweetheart by letter or email. Last I checked, email use is restricted to immediate family-- never to access gooey missives from cheesy girlfriends. I was forced to consider: what kind of leg work does it take during the mission to get to the point of the double proposal at the AIRPORT? What sacrifice? What commitment? Now this was done at the airport- this couple whose bond was forged in the crucible of the torturous 2 year wait to consummate the object of their undoubtedly ridiculous engagement fantasies. They even saw fit to forego the subtlety of a private conversation in the quiet moments in the denouement of the missionary afterglow where, even if they were making a gravely irresponsible decision, they could at least retain their dignity."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

In another dimension, they didn't get married. So we've got that going for us. Which is good.Comment

Y'all are just jealous because he came home to action a lot sooner than any of you.
