a reunion and a birthday

Last weekend, while we were still out of town, we went to Michael’s 10-year high school reunion. I can’t believe that we both graduated high school that long ago already. Wasn’t it just yesterday? Although, in ten years, he’s accomplished quite a lot (finished undergrad studies, served a church mission, got married, had two kids, and is working on getting his Master’s), so maybe it is believable that this much time has passed.

Anyway, we had a good time, and it was nice to go out on a date. Kaya and Kaelyn had a fun time with their grandparents. 🙂IMG_20150822_182705Sunday was Michael’s birthday! His mom made his favorite dessert, choco-mint freeze! We planned to start our drive back home right from church, so we celebrated with a family lunch in the church basement after all our meetings were over.

We didn’t use any real candles… but Michael was ready to substitute a Cheeto for one. Haha.
