The PV5er Reunion

Call it kizmet, fate, divine intervention, or a lucky aligning of the stars, but this group of men came together as little boys when they grew up on the same block. They went to church together, played on teams together, dated together, etc. Last weekend, they came together from Texas, North Carolina, California and Utah to hike Orderville Canyon and the Subway in Zions National Park.
It was the first time all of them have been together in ten years and Dan tells me it was a great reunion. Now, they are all return missionaries, college graduates, husbands, and dads. Circumstances have changed and distances separate them, but they came together and picked up right where they left off.

Dan and I both feel so blessed to have had incredible friends in our lives and hope that our children will be equally blessed with such a powerful circle of influence. They shaped us, taught us, and challenged us. And heaven knows, I love the PV5 boys too!
