The 2nd Wilhite Reunion has come and gone. It was successful. Thanks to all who came! It is so much fun being together and reminiscing. We set a new record for amount of ice cream consumed….Vana can give us those “actual figures” I know personally what I consume is more than I consume in a whole year! (secret….I just eat the ice cream to have A. Bev’s hot fudge!!).
We will add pictures here, I’m sure, soon so you can all see what you missed. We discussed our next Wilhite reunion and in discussing how much can CHANGE and happen in even a years time we don’t want to wait too long to do it again….we are thinking 2010 (same weekend…1st in August). We are all so busy with our lives and our kids’ lives (and for some grandkids) but It is SO IMPORTANT to set this time a side and be with loved ones. What a privilege to be able to share our heritage and memories with all the new ones to the family….both spouses and children. Time this side of eternity is limited and going FAST!!
We are asking all of you to consider planning NOW and set aside that weekend now. We know you will not regret the time and effort to be here. Again we know it is difficult but this time with loved ones has to be made a priority in the “business”.
Please start thinking and praying about it now and let us know what you think. You can comment here on the blog or e-mail us personally. Also please share this with any and all of your families or other relatives that might not be checking the blog!!
Check back soon for pictures and DON’T MISS 2010! Send your ideas.
PS. Just got the ice cream total…… 9 GALLONS consumed in a weekend by Wilhites!!!!! Maybe we could try for a world record (just kidding).

All 7 of us agree - the reunion was great. We had a wonderful time reminiscing and catching up on all the news with those in attendance. Jenni and I agreed (talking Sat. night) that five years was too long of a period to have a reunion. I'm happy to see that one is planned for 2010. I've already put it on my calendar. I think we need to find a way to get others of us involved in the food preparation. I don't know how we would do it but I hate to see Pete's, Vana's and Uncle Jim and Aunt Bev doing all of that work. Maybe we could prepare stuff and bring it with us.
Thanks to all who prepared for and ran the show at the reunion. I greatly appreciate all you did.

I told Tim - VBS or not, I want that weekend off in 2010. I will have to post my request EARLY and they can work the church schedule around it. :)
Seriously - once again I really wish I could have been there.
Love you all!!!!
I REALLY wanted to be there both years, but each summer was a strange one for me in a lead-up to school starting. HOPEFULLY in 2010, I won't have those same issues and will definitely hope to be there!!! Sounded like great fun!
If all goes as planned we may be home in August 2010. Sure would love to see some. Of course, just my tribe could easily down nine gallons of ice cream!
