1999.

The weekend of June 12 was one of celebration. We went back to De Smet to celebrate Old Settler's Day (the "birthday" for De Smet), my 10-year high school reunion (eeks...am I that old?), and of couse Matt and I's 5-year Anniversary! It never occurred to me to actually take a picture of Matt and I together without kids on our anniversary, so there are no pics-I'll have to be more intentional in the future. I didn't even take many pictures at the reunion, but I did take a picture when Nathan went off to sit by himself on the wall and eat his m&m bar. The reunion was hosted by my classmate's family, who have a gorgeous farm. Just being there made me feel like I was in an old novel or something. It was great to hang out with my high school friends, and I'm so grateful to have a group of friends that I've remained so close to throughout the years! Matt was grill master of the day (again, I should have been taking pictures), and he did a great job! Nathan and Ella got to play with some new friends-and hang out with cousin Mayah too!

I guess he had enough of people for a while, and just needed to be alone with his dessert.

DHS Class of '99.
