On Labor Day we had a get together with a group of our friends. We, Carl and I, are transplants to this group. They consist mostly of my brother's friends from high school. I remember in high school thinking that they were always making fun of me. I was the awkward sophomore and they were the mighty seniors. Well, they went on missions, to college, and got married and so did I. They started inviting us to their get togethers when we moved up from Ephraim, and they just keep inviting us. Everyone who knows this group knows two things; that they have for the most part continued to stay close, and that the organizers are Curt and Jodi.

So, when Curt and Jodi announced that they were moving to Indiana, we were all very sad and shocked. Most everyone talked of how the group wouldn't do as many get togethers since Curt and Jodi always planned. Carl and I were particularly bummed since we would hang out with them twice a month or more, and they were always around when we needed them. They came to the hospital to see our babies, they helped us with carpet, with the yard, and needless to say we've really missed them. Of course they come into town to bless Kara, their new baby, for the first time in months; and they planned a get together. They asked us to host since they don't have a house here anymore and we agreed.

We had a great time. We played volleyball at the park near our house, ate a lot of good food, played the washer game, and caught up. We really have missed Curt and Jodi, along with everyone else since we haven't gotten together since they moved. Thanks guys for adopting the little sis and her farmer man, we love you guys.

Well.. Hello There! It has been a long time. We are doing well. We moved to North Ogden about 2 years ago. And we have really liked it here. How about you guys. Where are you?
Tyson is still with Wells Fargo and is starting a part time job to see if he likes insurance, so he's maybe thinking about a transition. We'll see how that turns out.
What about you guys, are you both working at the same places?
Other than that we are just doing the same old running around stuff. Your kids are so cute. How far apart are they? It's so crazy to see our old ward with 6 and 5 year olds, and more that one child. I feel like I should still be in High School. It's too wild and crazy!!
Ty says Hi and hope all is well. It's good to see your family again!

It was so much fun for us all to get together and see each other. it feels like we never left at all. I am sure we will miss out on carving pumpkins and on making gingerbread houses with everyone but it will be great to play again on new years. thanks again for having all of us over.
