Fun reunion

Here's another little bit about the trip. On Thursday I was so excited because I got to meet up with one of my old roommates and her kids. It was so fun to see Brooke again and to meet Elena and Aaron. Her kids are so sweet! We had a nice lunch together and walked around a little bit. We were able to visit, laugh, reminisce, and catch up on other roommates and friends from our days at Ricks College in Baronessa A-1. We both decided that "we're still the same" even though it's been 11 years since we were roommates, we've both served missions, are married, and have 2 kids! Ah!! We don't look that old! I thought I would scan a picture of the old A-1 babes in for fun. I had a lot of fun looking through my pictures to find one to scan. I actually pulled out 5 or 6 pictures to scan, but Elsa and Gibson weren't cooperating during the scanning session. I had a bunch of goofy ones I wanted to put on. Lucky for all of my old roommates, I chose a pretty good one. So, here's a picture of us at Heidi's wedding after our first semester at Ricks (December 1997). Pictures from left to right Brooke, Me, Heidi, Amber, Annaka, and Shantel.
And here we are almost 11 years later!
What a fun little bonus to our trip! How about an A-1 reunion someday??

What a fun time! It was great to see you on your way to MD! Gibson looks adorable too :). Sounds like he was a pretty good travel buddy.

How fun I LOVE reunions. Sure, I'd love ot come. Oh wait, I didn't live there.
On another note, Chris, where did you get your bent needle? I used a straight one and it was a PAIN but I dont know where to find a curved one.

Memories! Memories! Wow, now I'll have to go pull out the old pics. Those were some good times and I totally remember that drive out to the wedding. So fun! Man I'm jealous of Brooke, I'd love to see you again! Some day my friend, it's been way too long.

Yes, that afternoon was so much fun! I can't believe you dedicated a whole post to it! *sniff* Don't forget to give me heidi's info! I'd love to catch up with her! I miss those good times we had...I would die for a reunion. I wish we weren't so spread out!

Oh, and I'm glad you picked that pic of us at Heidi's wedding. Needless to say many a blackmail photo exists for all of us! And we definitely are the same as we were then- I still look as awful!! :)
