The next weekend Chad got a double whammy! He got to fly home to PC to celebrate his birthday and to attend his high school reunion. It was a quick trip...we flew into Utah on Saturday morning and flew back to Florida Sunday night. But it was worth it. We got to see both our families, go horseback riding, eat at Cafe Rio (YUM!), and Chad got to catch up with a bunch of his friends from the Class of 1998. He enjoyed seeing his old friends and reminiscing about "the good ol' days." GO MINERS!! And it was fun for me to meet some of his buddies and hear a few hometown stories...luckily I didn't hear too many crazy ones about Chad. Ha Ha
Some high school friends & their spouses.

Finally, we topped off our month of festivities with a Kenny Chesney concert. Last night we went with our coolest cowboy friends (Louis & Alice Isom) to see his concert up in West Palm Beach. Despite it being outside and sweating like crazy, we had a great time. Kenny was a great performer and entertainer. And he sounded great live...just like on his albums. And of course, it was fun to dust off our cowboy boots and go back to our "redneck" roots. There are days when I really miss living on a farm, hanging out with my cows, and enjoying the simple life. I think Kenny says it best: "Back where I come from, that's where I'll be when it's said and done, I'm proud as anyone, that's where I come from." You don't get much country in South Florida; a Kenny Chesney concert is about as close as you get to farm life around here. :-)

It was so fun meeting you(Debbie) and seeing Chad again. I'm stealing this picture from the reunion.
Debbie, I'm so jealous that you got to see the love of my life...Kenny, of course. I've seen him twice, but you can never really see him enough can you????
We had such a great time at the concert with you guys!!! It was really good to hang out again!!! I wish we were closer :(
OH, fun pics! I do think you guys have changed. You look more grown up, but just as darling. So fun hanging with you at the reunion. Happy Birthday again, Chad!
Can I just say that I love your hair long and dark? You look so striking! I laugh at your engagement picture, was that really over 6 years ago?! You two look so young! I will always remember staying up late, bustling your wedding dress the night before your wedding!
Russ' 10 year reunion was this year too... we didn't go.. he was of course on a military TDY.
Check out JR's wife! She's really cute! hehe.
Miss you!
