New-Old friends

Last night I had the privledge of visiting with family and friends at a Vallejo-meets-Utah reunion of sorts. It was amazing.

Here's the best part- I'm a grown up!

These wonderful people are those that I knew while growing up that helped shape me and guide me into who am I today (only the good parts, of course). I'm sure most of them still view me as Walt and Kathy's oldest daughter, but we talked and visited as equals- as friends. I shared stories about my children that I knew they understood because they had once been in my shoes. We talked about husbands and siblings. We shared stories of common hobbies and interests. And of course, we caught up on all the stuff in between. There were some people that I haven't seen in 16-17 years. Another I used to babysit- ans his wife! I even shook and hands and hugged almost every one of my previous Bishops. Five of them! I visited with most of my siblings and my parents and could've stayed all night.

It was a wonderful evening. I'm still smiling. ;o)
