Taylor Friends and a visit to Upland!

This past week we had a special visit from my (our) dear friend Heather Von Tobel. Heather, Chris, and I all had elementary education classes together at TU. Heath and I were fast friends after meeting in math for teachers freshman year and even lived together our first year out of college before I got married. We’ve been in each other’s weddings and shared so much over the years. I really appreciate the fact that she came to visit so soon after Asher was born so she could get to know our little guy. Heather spent lots of time cuddling and loving on Asher these past few days. Thanks for coming, Heath! We miss you already, and can’t wait for you and Pete to (hopefully) move back to Indiana soon!

Chris and I are both so thankful for our TU friends! I know we both look back on our days at Taylor as some of the best for what we learned, who we met (awesome friends and each other!), and how we grew in the Lord!

On Wednesday we drove Heather to Upland to meet her husband, Peter, at Ivanhoe’s! Ivanhoe’s is a TU tradition and is known for it’s milkshakes and sundaes. We just had to let Asher experience the magic of Ivanhoe’s. After dinner we decided to drive around the “loop” at TU for old time’s sake. We also got out and walked around a little bit as well.

Here is Chris in front of Wengatz Hall – where Asher will live if (when) he decides to attend TU!

Peter was also a Wengetz guy… you can really see the pride he still has for his Wengetz heritage.

Here is Heath and me in front of Olson Hall. Having also lived in English Asher can choose to either marry an English or an Olson girl, but I do believe there to be some truth to the belief that Olson girls have more fun.

Peter held Asher and Heather’s purse so we could take our girl picture. :) Asher loved meeting Heather and Pete!

Even though it was a quick visit it was fun to introduce Asher to Taylor! We’re excited to bring him back in the fall for Homecoming!
