Our old babysitter, Margaret, (who was barely 14 years old at the time!) was getting married in the Toronto temple, so we ensured we were there to share this special moment with her. She was a great babysitter and a great friend. She came and visited us in Budapest for a few days as well, so we have kept in touch over the years.
We made the ten hour drive over an afternoon and a morning, stopping for the night in Dayton, OH. Upon arrival I met some old friends from work for lunch and got caught up on all the things going on in my old business there.
We also went by our old house, ate at our favorite restaurants (the Malaysian restaurant, "Restoran" is our favorite!), and stopped by the church. We took a picture with Ashley at the hospital that she was born in. And we remembered how much we LOVED Toronto and the great time we had in a wonderful city with FANTASTIC friends. We miss that the most. And it was great to see a lot of them (many have also moved away) as we attended the wedding and the reception dinner. We got to catch up with some really good people and were glad to see most everyone doing very well.
The wedding and reception were great and we were glad to have made the trip. Katie and Ashley were flower girls and looked beautiful in their dresses and did a good job with their part. And they were very happy to see their old friends, Megan and Madeline.
It is crazy that Margaret is old enough to get married, but as we continue to learn, time does not stop, but actually must speed up.
