A College Reunion of Sorts

Last weekend we traveled to Missoula for Trisha and Tyler's wedding.  Tuff and Tyler were college football teammates and roommates.  It was an amazing weekend!

Tuff's college football teammates and roommates at The Canyon Club at Washington Grizzly Stadium for the groom's dinner.  Each one holding his little girl!  Tuff and Grace, Kevin and Mayla, and Chris and Reagan.


Enjoying catching up.  Hard to believe we graduated almost 10 years ago.


Had to go down to the field for old-times sake.


Kids again.



The boys gave us a sprint or hardly a sprint in the video below.  They were worried about pulling a hammy.  Haha.



Fun with the girls.


Our best attempt at a family photo, from the back of the stadium looking toward Mount Sentinel and the Clark Fork River.


More fun on the field.



And now for the wedding.  I love this picture of Tyler waiting for his bride.



Tuff read a bible passage.



The colors and scenery were so beautiful.



The wedding location was the Ranch Club in Missoula, formally Phantom Links Golf Course, where I used to practice for college golf.  Only great memories here.


Luna made the trip!


The colors and mountain backdrop of Missoula made for a gorgeous wedding.


Lindsey, Kevin's wife, who I knew the last few years of college.


Kevin and Lindsey's daughter Mayla and Grace hit it off.  Grace and Mayla were born only one day apart.


Here's little Reagan and Grace at the children's museum in Missoula.


Grace rode the Missoula Carousel, one of the must dos of Missoula.


That thing was fast!


Saying goodbye to the boys Saturday, old teammates/roommates (Kevin, Tuff, Tyler and Brian).


We spent Saturday night at Daniel's house, yet another football teammate/roommate of Tuff's.


Road trip home with movies for dog and child.


And sharing a nap time pillow of course.


The week prior to the wedding Tuff traveled to Glasgow, Montana for a football sports camp.  The Glasgow Courier wrote up a nice article for those who are interested in reading:  http://www.glasgowcourier.com/story/2014/07/09/sports/against-the-odds/1506.html



Day following Glasgow football camp enjoying fishing near the Fort Peck Reservoir.


Shortly after the Glasgow trip Tuff flew to Ohio for an Athletes in Action event, the AIA Pro Athletes Leadership Summit and Golf Classic.  He had an amazing time and got to learn from some powerhouse leaders, like Dr. John Townsend who is most famous for his book Boundaries with Henry Cloud.  Not only that but got to meet some great people and reunite with some great people, including Corwin Anthony, Director of Pro Ministry for AIA and also our pre-marriage counselor more than six years ago!  

And now for the week after the wedding.

Tuff had the opportunity Thursday to last minute fill in for a speaker at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) event here in Billings.  He spoke on his walk with Christ and how sports played a role.  It was awesome to here him speak.  Another speaker for the event was Dr. David Cook who is one of the country's top speakers on peak performance.  He was awesome too.


The next day we played in the FCA golf event in which the winners qualify for a national event at TPC Sawgrass.  We took second by one shot!  Didn't expect to come nearly that close but what a good time!  Also didn't expect to be golfing, thought maybe a baby would hinder that!

Which brings me to today, July 20th, my due date!  No baby yet and I don't mind one bit.


Wednesday I took Grace to a big sister/big brother boot camp class provided by St. Vincent's hospital.  It was too cute.  They learned dos and don'ts around new baby, how to change a diaper, carry baby and wrap them in a blanket.



These pictures were from yesterday, just melted my heart after waking up from an afternoon nap and peaking out the window.



How are you all enjoying your summer?  Beat the heat and get in the water!  We have/had 90's+ for several days, and no end in sight.  Spray parks are our friends.




On a final note, I dropped my phone tonight on our family walk.  Oops.  So if you need to get a hold of me email or facebook will have to do!
