400th post!

Wow!


I cannot believe this is my 400th post! I need to turn my blog into a book one of these days!!

We just got back from Laren's 20 year High School Class Reunion. It was fun to go and see some of the people that I knew long ago when I went to Ricks College and worked at Arctic Circle, because those were some of the same people who grew up and graduated with my future husband even though I didn't know it at the time! It was also fun to see so many that Laren has talked about through the years.



Laren (in the striped shirt on the right) and some of his old high school buddies at the park in Sugar City yesterday. Not too surprising to learn that many of them became engineers like him.

Laren and I at the reunion yesterday.


While I was in town I got in touch with one of my dear friends, Kris, and we had a nice little visit! (Thanks, Kris, for obliging me and my girls!)



Kris brought her 2 daughters and I brought my 3 and the 5 of them became fast friends playing hide and seek and sardines at the BYU-Idaho Botanical Gardens while us moms visited!




Us in front of the Rexburg, Idaho Temple. I cannot believe there is a temple there now, just a short distance (literally) from where I lived when I was a student there 16 years ago! It is a beautiful temple, I'm bummed we didn't have time to do a session there!


And Jaci, this is for you! This is Brother Mike Rasmussen, a counselor from our Bishopric in the student ward when we were students there. (Jaci and I were roommates.) I did not know this, but he is from Laren's home ward in Plano. So when we went to Church today and I saw him, even after all these years I knew it was him. We had a nice conversation. Our old Bishop, Bishop Puzey is a mission president in the Phillipines now. And I specifically asked Brother Rasmussen if he remembered you Jaci and he did! He said he remembered going with his wife and taking you to the doctor and hospital in Idaho Falls. Such a fun reunion!!

Overall it was a great trip, short but sweet. We filled each day with a ton of stuff. Looking back at the 300 plus pictures we took surprises me that we fit everything in that we did! I will say this, Idaho is COLD!! Brrrr, I had forgotten how chilly it gets there - even when it's "warm"!! LOL

Oh Kari, WOW! So fun that you were able to see Br. Rasmussen again! What a wonderful man! As well as Bishop Pusey. I have often times wondered abou them all. I'm not a bit surprised that Bishop is now serving as a mission president! Aren't you so glad for the great memories at Ricks? So grateful you are a part of mine! Thanks so much for sharing, Kari. Great to hear from you! Hugs to you!!!!

That sounds like a great weekend! I'm glad you got a chance to visit with Kris, too. And yeah, Idaho can be chilly, especially in that area. Too bad it's also hot during the day, lol. But I love how it cools down at night, even in summer.

Kari! It's Jennifer, one of your old roomies from Ricks! What a beautiful family you have! I hope you don't mind me taking a peek at your blog! It's so fun! You look amazing! I am so glad for the chance to keep in touch with you! I have a sad little baby girl right now, but I promise to check in and see what your family is up to! Love you! Jennifer(Parker)Rima
