We got a wonderful visit from our best friends, the Taggarts.
We have been friends with them since we 1st got married, which was 13 years ago. We were in the same ward & lived in the same neighborhood. At the time, we lived in a condo & they lived in the houses that surrounded the condos. Culligula was dying to see the inside of one of those homes so he kept asking me to make friends with Jen Taggart.
One evening, we were out for a walk when we ran into Jen. We talked for a minute & she invited us over for dinner. Yes! We we’re in! Culligula could finally get his wish & he could stop trying to make me talk to her.
Well, we had dinner as planned & it was an instant friendship for all 4 of us. After that, we were inseparable. We had video game/scrapbook sleep overs, we’d play basketball frequently, go for walks every morning… It was a time the 4 of us will always cherish.
3 years later, Jen had Dani & the following year I had JaJa. Then she had Lexi & I had Combi & so on & so forth. You get the picture.
We’ve been through a lot together. We’ve laughed a lot & we’ve cried just as much.
Since our move to UT & their move to TX, we don’t see each other as much. We did meet in CA one year & then we spent a week together in Hawaii. Best time ever.
Fortunately, they both have family here so they do come here on occasion. This year we got to see them twice which was such a treat.
The 1st time, my boys were too shy & didn’t warm up to their girls until the end of their stay.
The 2nd visit was much better & they were all instant friends. It was awesome to see the instant bond they all had to one another. All 6 were in their own little special world (minus Morgan cause she’s always in her own little world!).
Dani 9, JaJa 8, Lexi 7, Combi 6, Jordan 6, KB 4, Morgan 3
Both in animal heaven. I’m not sure if anyone loves animals as much as they do.
We love you Taggarts! & we look forward to creating many more memories with all of you!!!
