What's That Word Again?

My fellow readers you are going to be so proud of me. This post isn't about work! That means I do have a life outside of school and work. Today's topic? A returned missionary! I can't believe two years is already over. Nate is back from the Philippines! It is so good to have him back. Yes I got to see that kid last week.
He came down to Provo for the day. I caught up with him after I took a test. Nate, Erik (a friend of ours from high school) and I all went out to eat dinner. 

I won't lie it was a pretty entertaining dinner. We were catching up on all that has happened in the past two years: missions, relationships, school, work, family. There were times our conversations were a little bit difficult to understand. You've got Nate who just got back and speaks better Tagalog than English, Erik who is deaf and me. There were a few times where I'm pretty sure it took us five minutes just to explain a thought or two. 

My favorite part was driving back to Erik's place and we talked about what he ended up naming his car. He said Kneego and I wasn't sure what that was so I just thought it was a cool word. Nate said he couldn't remember that word in English and asked what it was. Erik responded back saying that since he bought a Honda Civic and all the Mexicans have Civics he decided to name it Kneego which is Spanish for friend.
AMIGO! It was a lightbulb moment! I just laughed to myself.
I won't lie, thinking back on this dinner, I realized just how mismatched all of my high school friends are. But we're seriously amazing friends, so not much more than that matters. 

Now if only I had my two Elder Mulitalo's back from their missions. Manu is serving in McAllen Texas and Tyler is serving in Tulsa Oklahoma. Here's the latest picture of Manu for those of you who haven't seen it yet. And the biggest thanks to Cujoe for sending it to me. I'd say he's rocking the sweaters. 

Some Things Never Change

We haven't been graduated for very long but we look for any reason to have reunions and see each other.
This reunion...was planned the night before so unfortunately not everyone could make it.
We went out for breakfast with the M&M crew. We were all in a group for Sadies our senior year and we definitely had a blast then and now.
We did breakfast at 8 in the morning. It was great getting back together. And of course our favorite thing? Chismea. We sure do love getting caught up on the latest gossip that has been happening in our lives and in our friends lives. It's crazy how much you actually miss out on even after not seeing someone only for a few weeks. 

After breakfast, those of us that could go take some pictures did. Just for fun photoshoots are some of the funnest things to do. Ever. 

Manu and I were the only couple left from the Sadies group that made it to pictures. Oh well, I guess that just means more pictures for us.

Manu still doesn't know how to give decent piggy back rides. My short arms were choking him the whole time we took this picture because he is so big my arms don't reach all the way around his neck. 

  

I love my M&M crew girls
