Babic Reunion

 
 
Konrad had the privelege this year of attending his first Babic (Serbian) reunion. This is my stepdad's side of
the family- both of his parents came to America from Yugoslavia. I have been in this family since I was four so I consider it my own. It is a tradition to do a big pig and lamb roast. There are great facilities at the
Serbian church hall and picnic grounds. We had close to 100 people there this year. The men prepare and cook
the meat. The most important ingredient beside the garlic is the Slivo which is taken in shots throughout
the cooking process...the meat was exceptionally good this year as 3 bottles of Slivo were consumed, this is
2 more than usual!!! Konrad loved the whole process and was taken in as an honorary Serb.

Andy's Graduation

Another exciting Spring event - Andy graduated from college. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and also, a minor in Chemistry. (He gets his brains from me!) It was great and I am so proud of him. Todd and his family were in town and we had a really nice luncheon afterwards. I am happy to report everything went well and my new husband met my ex husband and everyone was quite cordial and a fine time was had by all with the help of a few gin and tonics(the ex husband) and imported beer(the new husband) and diet coke(me)!!!!! Andy has decided to take
a year off of studying and to work in a lab at the University of Utah. He has
become very interested in Botany and plans to go to Grad school next fall.
