Naval Academy 5 Year Reunion

It was really exciting to get together with a lot of Paul's friends from college for their 5 year reunion.  We both can't believe that 5 years have passed since we both graduated college, but it has been a really great 5 years.  Landon and Elle both have blessed our lives in so many ways and it was really fun bringing them back to Annapolis where we grew up. 

We were honored to sit in the Superintendent's box to watch the parade.  It gave me chills to watch...it felt like yesterday that Paul was walking in those parades.

We joined Paul's best friend and roommate from college Steve, and his expecting wife Kristin.  Along with another buddy of theirs, Matt Hezel.  Mom and Lee joined us as well!

The man in uniform on the far right is the Commandant of the Marine Core.  This guy is a big deal!

We were really excited to see Travis at the parade.  Travis was Paul's previous 'boss'/Eng on his submarine and a good friend of ours.  And now Travis is an assistant to the Superintendent at the Naval Academy...that's how we got hooked up with those seats at the parade.  :)

Me and my Momma with my babe.

The next day we went to the Navy vs. Airforce game!  These are a few classmates from Paul's company: Mike, John, Grant, and Gwen.  They are all doing very well in their Navy careers.

These guys back together again...Paul, Hayes and Jared.  Like life back in Ulmstead.

Katie and her sister Kelly.  These gals are the best!!

Geoff, his brother Pete and Trish!  So excited for the newly engaged couple!

And Paul and I...had to get one of the two of us.  :)

Navy didn't pull out the win, but it was a great comeback and a great second half!  And we all had a lot of fun.  GO NAVY!
