5 Year College Reunion

That's right -- it's been 5 years since we graduated from Cedarville University and in a lot of respects it feels like yesterday and like 15 years all at the same time! We drove down yesterday morning and met up with my cousins, Christie & Adam. We went out to lunch with them and had a great time -- allowing Adam to finally meet Emily -- aren't they cute together?! We went to the Oasis Cafe, a favorite place for Christie and me while we were students there --it must have gone under new ownership because it was quite disappointing -- but did provide many laughs and a load of entertainment! :)

After lunch we met up with a bunch of our college friends at the soccer game and then went to the "Reunion Dinner". We had a fantastic time reminiscing and catching up with what everyone has been up to. It was the first time a lot of them were able to see Emily and she of course "wow-ed" them with her flexible and pleasant personality! She was smiling and laughing the whole time -- you never would have guessed that she had only taken 2-30 minute naps during the day! She is such an angel -- we're so blessed!!

Then after the dinner we went to stay at my college roommate's (Amanda) parents' house (Mike & Colleen Mariage). They opened up their home for us and our friend Ben to stay at and even provided a delicious lunch for us today. We had a great time chatting after church and just talking -- it was a perfect end to a great weekend!

We got home tonight around 6:30pm and are now sitting down to relax a little before the week begins! Emily is such a trooper when it comes to traveling and is SOOO flexible with her scheduling! She adapts to everything really smoothly and was just amazing this weekend -- I just can't say it enough -- we are so blessed (in many, many ways) to have her! :)
