Visits with friends.

If we had to leave New York, Salt Lake has been a good place to move to. There are many reasons why we are happy in Salt Lake, but one near the top of the list has to be the fact that many of our friends from our New York days have friends and family in Utah. As they come to Salt Lake for family visits, weddings, graduations, reunions, etc., we're often lucky enough to be included in their busy schedules.

This summer we enjoyed visits with Thatchers (we even joined them for a weekend vacation; Matsumori's (and got to meet their new twins); Mumfords (who have also moved back to Utah and invited us to their 4th of July BBQ); Butlers (adult dinner out and joined in on Teddy's birthday party); Pretes (the first to stay in our new guest room -- all are invited!); Smiths (finally meeting Olivia in person), Richards (who WILL be moving back to Utah in four years); Wheelers (and got to meet their new baby Gavin); our lawyer-turned-medical-student friend, Dave Wagner; and Tom & Clarke - twice! Thanks for making the time for us and please keep coming!

Lame pictures, but great 4th of July party.
