"Old" Friends Reunited

Yesterday we went to a CCS reunion and got to see some of our old friends. Pastor Jerry and Cheryl Hairgrove were in Fairmont for 10 years back when we were having our kids. We both had 3 little ones at the same time and have many happy memories of that time. We really had a good time laughing and crying over the things we remembered. We have been able to keep in touch with our blogs (I told Cheryl she looked just like she does on her blog), but it was so good to be able to talk in person. After the reunion was over we all went to the Olive Garden and had a good time over dinner. I sure wish we lived closer (they are in Florida now, I'm thinking Florida vacation??) .
Mr. Anderson taught history and Geography and his son James and Jeff were best friends in the first grade. We found out that they live in Findlay, Ohio and we were just there for Nathaniel's wedding!! Mr Brunson taught math. He lives in New Hampshire now.
Remember Brent Armstrong. He was the ring bearer in our wedding. Now he pastors a church in Anderson, South Carolina.
The highlight of the day for me was hearing Pastor Jerry speak again. I always enjoyed his preaching because he not only was a good preacher, but a good teacher of the Word. I can tell you that he still has it. He spoke with the same energy and compassion. It really took me back to a very good time in our lives.

The Hairgrove's do look like their picture. I look at their blog once in awhile. Thanks for dinner last Monday. We had a good time - wish it could have been longer. Yes, Micah is keeping up with Barry the dog! He's not dead yet.
