Two weeks ago we headed to Somerset to celebrate Ben\u2019s 10 year high school reunion.&#160; It is hard to believe that he graduated ten years ago and this time next year I will be celebrating my ten year reunion.&#160; To celebrate they had a quant picnic at a park where everyone brought their spouses and kids.&#160; They had a inflatable water slide set up for the kids and delicious food to munch on.&#160; We even got to enjoy the swings in between the rain showers.&#160; Mikayla had a blast playing in the puddles and observing all the new faces at the picnic.&#160; Even though I knew only a handful of people it was still fun.<\/p>\n<p><em>**Sorry, I didn\u2019t get any shots of the reunion!&#160; I was too busy chasing Mikayla around and Ben was too busy socializing!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We went from there to Louisville where a dear friend of mine from college got married.&#160; It was sort of a college reunion because so many of our friends from WKU were there.&#160; I got to see my bible study leader from college (who made a huge impact on my life), who recently found out she was pregnant and of course a lot of the Bemis HOT-ties, as Merideth called us!&#160; Plus a few other faces from my WKU days.&#160; The strange thing was that most of us had kids in tow, kids at the sitter or kids on the way.&#160; Crazy how quickly things change!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kickert.info\/beth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/August20100011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px;
