Reunion Time!

(2nd update this week)

I've been behind, but I am really trying to get caught up with all of our adventures so that we can be all squared away for new posts of our new adventure in a couple of WEEKS!! I can't believe that it is coming so quickly! So anyway, mostly for us and journaling sake I am going to put up these posts, hopefully getting us caught up in just a few! So yes, back around the beginning of October we were able to have a couple of really great reunions with some friends. We had Noah's mission reunion, which was so great. Even though it was like 10 years ago, they had a super tight mission. There are tons of people who aren't in the area anymore, but still the ones who are can sometimes make it! They were some of the very first missionaries in Madagascar. The mission opened in 1998, and Noah went in the spring of 1999. I think they are all pretty close because of all the circumstances. There were only missionaries in the capital city at the time, so they all saw each other a lot! Such a fun group, and even as a spouse I feel like I have gotten to know so many of them. They really like to go all out, and even have a cool sign! Maybe all of my boys could go there one day! Who knows!

This is a pic of the new building! The biggest one in all of southeast Africa area! hmmm....looking good for them to get a temple by 2014, which is their goal!!

We were also able to get in a visit with some great friends that we had in Michigan! The Tiltons were in town and we were able to get together for dinner and a great night of catching up! We love these guys and have missed them so much. Porter and Ellie were just a couple of months apart, and so are Jack and Ronan! We had a great time seeing them again!



Our little families!!
