The Bishops

Ron and I received an early Christmas present with a surprise visit from our old friends Ron and Peggy Bishop. They made a quick trip to Phoenix to attend a funeral and we got to hang out with them on Tuesday night. It was so good to see them! They moved to Gilbert and into our ward back in 1990. They have a son Ryan who is Brian's age and a daughter Brienne who is Kimberly's age and we hit it off right away. Unfortunately in 1994 work took them away from us, to California and then Seattle but we still manage to keep in touch. This is one friendship that time and distance is not going to put asunder!

We took them to all our old haunts. They were so disappointed when we told them the original Mattas had closed so we went to Mattas too and they have the #4 so both Ron's were happy!

Then it was off to see the lights at the Arizona Temple. Isn't the star beautiful? (Not to mention the women underneath it!)

They were so excited to see the camels!

Last but not least we stopped to finish off the night at Nielsens. This was one of our favorite places to go with them and it still is. Peggy was in heaven with her spiced apple cheesecake concrete!
We really enjoyed getting to see you guys. Come back soon!

It looks like you had a ton of fun. I'm so glad that you all were able to catch up. I only wish that I could have been there too. It would have been fun to see you guys & of course Kimberly and her family.
