Sometime in July, Zak and Sam came into town for a family event, and despite their busy, short trip splitting time between two families, they managed to squeeze in time to see us. It was only for an hour or two, but I can't even put into words how much it lifted my spirits. I think I just needed proof that we would see them, that we would visit each other, that they would come back, even for a short visit. I really really needed that. I don't know how, because nothing really changed, but somehow, their visit made everything better.
Probably a week later, we went to our friend Michael's birthday party in Sandy. He's in med school and is doing traveling rotations. He's been really busy with that, but he managed to find time to have a party so he could see his friends. He even came down with his family the next day to go to church with us, and we put them right to work helping out in primary. Brian loved teaching a class with Michael, and they both loved going to church together. We had lunch together afterwards, talked for a bit, and took our traditional pictures. It is fun to see our families growing and getting older.

And, of course, the Michaels picture. We always take this one when they're together.
We're so grateful for all of our amazing friends who stepped in and became more like family than just friends.
