Carving out our niche.
We wanted to hike Mt. Timp today with some friends, but the threat of rain scuttled our plans. I was a sad panda.
But on the bright side, it freed us up to hang out with Leah and Jonny and help them set up a reception for Leah’s younger brother Kurt and his wife. The event was beautifully planned and the weather cooperated nicely. It was fun to catch up with some family (family–assuming Kristie’s an adopted VanWagenen, like I keep hearing) and friends that we hadn’t seen in a while.
Tonight we attended the wedding reception of our friend Dani (who Kristie cheered with at BYU). It was a beautiful affair, and we got to catch up with a bunch of the old gang, including David Grant, Eric & Tracy Snowder, Dimitri, Katie, Mckell, Matt, Josh and Ashylnn. I think I’d like to buy the home they held the reception at someday.
Back when we attended the Orem Summerfest, I got a free ticket to an Orem Owlz minor-league baseball game. So last Thursday we decided to catch a game. Upon arriving at the ticket office, however, one of Kristie’s old friends was just walking out to give away a pair of extra tickets that he didn’t need. So we got in totally free, and had so much fun that we decided to go again with Ryan and Mandy tonight. Here are a few pictures from both games:
Friday vs. Raptors
Clover and Lilah
Thursday vs. Chukars
Kami, Leah and Kristie got together for a girls lunch to catch up and talk about babies, I presume.
I think this picture is hilarious
Leah and Jonny had us over for a swim and a BBQ. Great company, great food…and we got to debut Lilah’s hippo-eared bathing suit. Awesome.
After leaving Grandma and Grandpa’s in Ogden, we drove out to Mountain Green to meet up with Nathan and Kendra and see their new home. The place is shaping up beautifully, and is set in a gorgeous location.
Today Kristie was the special guest of wonderful a baby shower put on by Leah and Kendra. I wasn’t in attendance, but Kristie was absolutely gushing about it all day. The food and decor were pretty amazing, as you can gather from the pictures below.
We feel so grateful for all our friends that have supported Kristie (and by extension, our little family) during this exciting time. We love you all–thanks for your kindness and generosity.
Kristie met up with some freshman roommate friends for a girls night out. Here’s a shot:
My brother Coleman stayed with us for a few days after wrapping up his first semester of college. On Sunday we met up with Houston, Nathan, Kendra & James for a picnic up at Timpanogos Park.
Note: Do not try this at home. Baby tossing was performed on a closed course by trained professionals that never slip.
Note 2: Don’t worry Kristie. I won’t ever do this with our little girl.
Now that we don’t work together any more, us LJ alum met up to grab some good curry and catch up. After dinner, Andrew and Rebecca invited us all over for an extremely tasty dessert and rockin’ round of Blokus. The work place certainly won’t be the same without bizdevbear and the ppc wizard. #goodtimes
p.s. Andrew – notice anything missing from that picture? Automagic.
