I got to re-connect with some old friends last night at a birthday party. Aly, Brooks, and I went to my old boss' house last night to celebrate the birthday of his two year old twin boys. It was great to see some old friends again. I realized how long 3 years is when I saw how big all of their children had gotten. I think the best part of the evening was when we arrived and I got to see a special friend named Lauren. She calls me "Big Brian", although I am not sure if it is because I am tall in her eyes or if I am overweight. I am hoping that it is because she views me as tall (no comments from the peanut gallery here, please). Lauren is 7 years old (I think) and she really loved for me to throw her in the air when she was younger. 3 years ago I could really throw her high in the year. I realized how long 3 years is when I tried to just pick her up. She had gotten so big and tall, I couldn't believe it. But we had a good time getting re-aquainted after her brief moment of shyness.
Lauren's dad and I used to go hunting a lot before I left to pursue coaching, and I am excited to get back in the field with him and others. It was just an enjoyable night. Its good to be home.
