Blasts from the past

Today we celebrated Meagan's 25th birthday at the park. She was kind enough to let me invite the Ta'alas because I haven't seen them since being home from the mission. Ever since I found out they moved to West Valley from Minnesota I've been trying to visit them but it's never worked out. Today, it finally did! It was great to catch up with them and spend some time together.

Then I went to Sarah Logo's wedding reception. Her new name is Sarah Le. I met her four years ago when we were both SOAR counselors. Sarah and I were roommates and I remember talking about Daniel one night...I asked her if she was dating anyone and she said she was writing to this guy on his mission. Eventually he came home, she left for her mission, they kept in touch, dated when she got back, and now they are happily married.

Right after Sarah's reception I picked up Marisa Jane and we went to Shanna's baby shower. Her sisters threw it for her and it was a very lovely little party. Shanna was my roommate four years ago when I lived in Cinnamon Tree. The summer after being roommates together she got married to Tim and now they're expecting their first baby girl.

I am grateful for the good people in my life. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am to be surrounded by such great friends. Today was a nice reminder of a few of the friendships I've built over the past few years and the memories that come with them.
