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.


(The kids, minus Blancas and Paiges' since they are a little old for ring around the rosie.)
(Bobby and Kara, who are both very cute. I didn't want to leave you out Bobby)

10 Year Reunion

This last weekend we had our Roy High Class of 1999 Reunion. We really had a great time and it was really good to see everyone. With that in mind I am really glad it is over. After a year of tracking people down and planning I am burned out and am glad that since the reunion I haven't dreamt of high school once. Thanks so much to those who came; but especially, to the Officers, Lesley, Lana, Dan, and Lindsey, they really were a life saver and put a ton of effort into making sure this whole thing was a success. Carl was also a trooper and took money at alumni night and was my IT guy for the dinner at the Timbermine. Yeah!! I don't have to worry about this again for another 9 years, oh the mistakes of youth. I thought it would be cool to be an officer, and it was until a year ago. Love you guys.
