After hanging out on a hillside for several hours, we were relieved that nothing bad happened to my parents’ hometown and they were free to return home.

Having heard the good news, Luis and I were able to unglue ourselves from the TV where we had been watching live coverage of the impending tsunami. Our friend, Billy, (who was one of Luis’ groomsmen at our wedding) was performing stand-up comedy at a local venue. So we ventured out of the house to go see him perform. And let me tell you, the boy sure can tell a good story.

No night out with the guys could be complete without an impromptu decision to go get some food. And because we were in Provo, where options of restaurants are very limited when it is 10 p.m., we went to one of our very favorites, Chili’s.

Once upon a time, these guys were all students and lived together. Now everyone is getting jobs and moving on with their lives. Strange.
