Our friends, the Walburgers--

We just spent part of our weekend with some old friends who live in Austin, Jordan and Marlo Walburger.

They stayed the night at our house on friday and it was a treat because we haven't seen them for a year and a half for just a few minutes and then about 2 1/2 years before that.

We met these great people in our married student ward in 2005.

Brent was in the bishopric and Jordan was the Elder's quorum president so they spent a lot of time in meetings together.

They were also notorious for keeping each other up to date on the scores of whatever game was happening during church.

Men... I mean boys will be boys.

And a fun tidbit--I worked at Alysse's bridal in Orem and just happened to be Marlo's bridal consultant when she bought her dress.

It is fun to reminisce back on the times we spent together prior to having kids and then to see each other with kids. Marlo is such a sweet mother, and that baby Drake is dreeeaaamy.

They are also part of the original group that we played Nertz with almost every Sunday night and they always dominated.

But who dominated this weekend?

That's right, we did!

Sorry guys, but it did feel good.

Gratefully, we had good weather the day they were here so we hit up the Riverwalk.

Terrible lighting, but I still like this shot of the river

We had some good times back in Orem and have really missed them so it was great to reconnect. We are so glad you came and stayed with us and can't wait to come visit you in Austin!
