This past weekend was spent in Pendleton, Oregon. Aaron had his 10 year reunion so we left the girls with Grandma and Papa Sharp in Idaho and made the drive without them. It was so nice to spend 7 1/2 hours straight with him with no interruptions! His cell phone even died at the beginning of the trip so there we were just the two of us. It was one of the best road-trips of my life! We talked and laughed and sang and reminisced and dreamed together. Every once in a while Wanda (that's what Aaron named the GPS) would tell us where to go but that was it. The drive was over before we knew it and we were in Pendleton. The view from the top of the pass was breathtaking. You're so high you can see the checkerboard quilt of all the fields! After the descent into the valley (and popping our ears a thousand times) Aaron showed me around his town. It was so fun to relive old memories with him and talk with old friends. One family in particular were the Megehee's. We stopped and talked with Allyson and her family for a bit. They were so nice and other than my own in-laws I've never seen more doting grandparents. They love that little Jack! The picture is with Allyson and unfortunately the only one we took the entire time. We had the camera in the car the whole time but just never got it back out again darn it.
The reunion was held in the Let 'er Buck room which apparently is infamous for alcohol and wild parties...we'll it didn't disappoint. Of course we only drank water or pepsi (which frankly is the "hard stuff" in our book). We had a great time catching up with old classmates and friends. Aaron was in his element as he went around saying hi and talking to everyone. At one point he came back laughing. Apparently some classmates were joking with him asking him when he was going to work at the 'Chip and Dales' (is that even how you spell that? How would I know?) Anyway, we had a good laugh over that one. I always thought he was one hot babe but apparently he should be getting paid for it!!! Bring on those one dollar bills-no wait, make that 100 dollar bills! Ha, ha. For a reference as to what he was wearing to merit such a comment see the picture on this post. He just makes everything look good! Anyway, we had a blast there and at the picnic the next day. It was good for him to be back and fun for me to see where he grew up. We'll be back in 10 more years!!

That story was funny the second time too!
I had to count in my head when my 10 year class reunion was...and then count when yours was...sorry...I'm slowly doing the math here. J/K Yup!! You got a hotty. You two are so cute together. However, it does make me want to go get on my treadmill right now and shed a few calories. I'm glad you had that time in the car. We went to Bluebird the other night for dinner and left Mr. B. with Nana and Papa. It was nice to have a peaceful quiet dinner...so peaceful, we were both wondering what to say.
You are the one that looks amazing Bonnie and I love the bangs! I keep thinking I am going to have them again soon, but it still hasn't happened. I look horrible, that is why the pics are the head only and it is pretty hard to camoflage those cheeks of mine lol! Love you! Can't wait to see you Saturday! Do you have my new cell?
that is so great that you were able to leave Macey! It sounds like such a great trip. I would love to take a trip with just Nate. Road trips are so fun. Thanks again for having us stay. It was so fun to see you and get to talk with you for a bit! We love you guys TONS!
Oh my goodness!!!! Some of our friends I think were at that reunion. Ask Aaron if he knows Dan and Jodi Primus they are high school sweet hearts. It's a shame we weren't able to see you, but I am glad you had a good trip and enjoyed seeing some old friends.
You guys are too cute! I am jealous of your "romantic" road trip. I hope you have fun at your reunion this weekend. I'll see you on Sunday, you better be there!:)
