Cohen Returns

 Zak's brother, Cohen, left on his mission shortly after we started dating. His other brother came home from his mission just before Zak and I married, and he recently married Carrie. So, last month Cohen returned from his mission, seeing the family and meeting his two new sisters.

We stayed for a few days, in order to see the rest of the family and listen to Cohen's talk in church. Niki took me to get my hair chopped off, and we had a lot of fun catching up on all the action movies from the last two years. We also got to meet some of Cohen's new friends.

In celebration of his return, Niki made a sign to post at a particular corner. Family legend goes that Cohen wanted Mom to make a fun rocket blast noise as they turned the corner. She didn't know exactly what to do, so she just said, "Rocket, rocket." Niki kept up the tradition, and for the last two years or so has shouted, "Rocket, rocket," every time she drove around the turn.
