For a girl who likes to take pictures and capture memories on paper I did a poor job of it this weekend. I did however take a super cute video and wouldn't you know it, I can't get it to load. Dang!
I grew up in a small town. One of those places that everyone knows everyone. No one changes schools because there is only one school. For the most part, you make friends in kindergarten and 13 years later you walk through the high school gym on graduation day with those same friends. My three closest friends were Mindi, Julie and Shelby. We weren't exclusive, basically thirteen different girls were BFF's at some point in time however the four of us stayed close for many years after leaving home. Now that we are all married and caring for our own children it is much more difficult to find time to get together however once in a while we make it happen.
Yesterday my sweet friend Julie, her husband Kyle and sweet little girl Adelyn came for a visit. Chris and I really enjoy Kyle and Julie. They are kind, giving, successful and yet have known their share of trials but remain joyful and pleasant to be with. At the tender age of five, Adelyn is as smart as a whip and just a beautiful as her mother. Last night we enjoyed a great meal at Hotel Raabe and then were entertained by two beautiful dancing princesses. We had fun catching up on each others lives, playing the Wii and talking about the good old days back in high school.
Morning came too soon and before I knew it, they were pulling out of our driveway heading south. I am praying for safe travels and not so much time to pass before we get our families together again. Thank You God for friendships that stand the test of time.
Friends, you all are welcome any time.
