Lunch with Michael and the Kiwanis Club

Michael is a member if the Rexburg Kiwanis club. They meet every Tuesday for lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Today, I had the opportunity to attend the luncheon for the first time. Every week, the club invites a special guest speaker. These guests range from local business owners to superintendents to scholars. Today's guest speaker was, in my opinion, the best one they've had since we moved here: Michael W. Brown, esquire. Yes, Michael and another attorney from the law firm were invited to be the guest speakers. They were invited to tell a little about themselves in order for the other members of the club get to know them better and also talk a little bit about their law firm.

Michael was first to speak and captured the group's attention with the suspenseful story of how we got together, more specifically the wisdom tooth episode (if you're not familiar with this harrowing experience, let me know. It's a good one). He then spoke about our small family and a short history of how we got where we are. He spoke some about the law firm and closed with the unbelievable and incredible story of while serving a mission in Russia, he was accused of being a CIA spy and was deported out of the country 6 weeks prior to his release date.

After words, he was detained by several people wanting to know more about him and his experiences. I was also stopped as people told me what a wonderful guy I was married to and I have to agree with them. I am very lucky to have Michael as a husband and appreciate all the hard work he does to support our family and keep us happy. What a great way to spend the lunch hour: eating free, delicious Chinese food with your husband as he talks about his great family. Life doesn't get any better than that.
