    The Reunion! We are old! But still feel young.

    Rob and I have been mocking our 8th grade graduation picture for years…

    Bryan and I were voted most athletic 8th grade through high school…

    Saundra and I played Basketball together since 5th grade and Softball in High school. She’s a saint. Tonya and I have been together since Helen Wilcox and It was great to catch up with Daya after not seeing her for many years. We played bball and softball and hung out with the Mormon crew.

      

    Me with all of the wives! They were thrilled to be there. They did have each other so… not too bad of a gig. Jed, Rob, Evan, Ty and Dave’s wives!

    It was great to catch up with Anika. We’ve seen each other off and on over the years.

    And the late night class of 97 crew. I’m proud of these guys! They are all doing great things with their lives. We had a great group when we were kids and I love seeing that they are all doing good things and being good people. Rob, Jed, Dave, Daya, Brian, Jana, Evan, Ty and Than.

    All of the 97 at the Reunion!

    Me and all the boys. I miss these guys. Loved catching up with all of them


    7/9 Sunday: We all went to the Keith and Susan Stutznegger home coming at 11:30 in the 1st ward. Things were still crazy with the fire and evacuation orders so it was just sacrament meeting and the rest of church was cancelled. Stutz’s talked until-2:30 :). I loved hearing about their service as mission Presidents! I couldn’t help but remember all of the good they did for our family and the friendships that we’ve had over the years.  Our parents co-owned a boat when I was little. Saturday Lake Days! When money got too tight they bought out our half. Mom worked for Keith for years and so did all of the younger kids cleaning the office. Keith and Susan let me work around the house for them whenever I needed $, even after my mission. They have been a blessing to our family. We gave everyine hugs and jetted out of there.

    We grabbed lunch and a change of clothes at Kev and Liz’s house. Then we were off to Fort Bragg for 5 nights of camping! We Set up camp and ate Hot dogs. Grandpa gave a Devotional and it was the perfect kickoff to the camping week!
