Reunion in St. Joseph

Sarah, Tara, Jodi, Noella

It has been six years since this group of college friends have all been together.  Tara and I were roommates for three years in college and our families do see each other every time we are stateside due to our proximity in the mid-west.  Jodi and Sarah were roommates at Cedarville too and all three lovely ladies were nursing majors.  I always felt that maybe I should have received a honorary nursing degree.  

What a special abbreviated weekend we had together, June 20-21, in St. Joseph, Michigan.  Even though states and countries separate us and we go years without seeing each other, it is always a wonderful feeling to be able to pick up where we left off. A very special extra thank you to Jodi and family who drove from Minnesota and for Sarah and her family from Pennsylvania!  Your sacrifice meant so much to us and we are so thankful we were finally able to make this reunion happen.  Let's plan on not going six years between visits again, okay?!

We have celebrated a few births since our 2008 reunion and our kids have grown just a tiny bit...

The kids got along so well together and had a blast at the beach and in the hotel pool.  Our motley crew of 15 kids ranging from 6 months to 11 years old formed instant friendships.

And the hubbies (Jesse, Jon, Jonathan & Steve) were there too soaking up the fellowship...
