Old Friends and New Faces

One of the benefits of being back in Utah is that it seems to be a gathering place.  Most of our friends from college and our earlier married days have family here along the Wasatch Front.  So, between the holidays and summer vacations, we all end up back here at one time or another.  Now that we're here to stay, we can see these awesome people when they come to visit!

Sharon was my best friend in college, and I haven't seen her since her new husband whisked her away to Texas right after they got married!  It's been over 2 years, and I've had a baby since then and so has she.  I was so excited to learn that they were in town to see Andrew's family this Christmas, and we made sure to meet up.  The destination?  California Pizza Kitchen, of course!  It was mine and Sharon's place, next to Wendy's at 10:00 at night. ;)  Oh, the wonderful culinary experiences of college.

Sharon's daughter, Eve, just turned one, and she's as cute as can be!  It's so fun to see Sharon as a Mom.  When did we all grow up?  Here are all our kids together.  As you can tell, it was after lunch and just about everyone was ready to go home!


Friends are definitely a way that the Lord blesses your life, and Sharon was just that kind of blessing in mine.  We had some good times, and made some hilarious memories!  It's really fun that we'll get to see each other and stay in touch as our lives move forward.
