Farewells are tough...

Thankfully friends are friends forever

if the Lords the Lord of them.

As Iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens as friend.

Proverbs 27:17

We are blessed by your friendship and all the Lord

taught by allowing our lives to be intertwined even for a short time.

Aloha Friends...We will Love You Always!

Friendship

Good Friends...Good Times

Friendship....What a wonderful gift! For a belated birthday gift my dear friends Mandy and Erin traveled down for an overnight visit. Baby Elena came along too. Poor thing that's a long trip for a 4 month old. And Marlus...WE MISSED YOU!

My daughter Makayla is always wanting to take pictures with mommies camera...well she got her chance and I think she has a pretty good eye. Thanks hun. She was even trying to give us ideas and poses...What a fun time. Thanks Ladies...you are a true treasure in my life and I thank the Lord for our friendship.

Til we meet again...Ladies...Til we meet again

BLESSED FRIENDSHIPS!

One of the most treasured gifts in life is friendships. It's such a challenge to see everyone when we travel home for visits. On our last trip home, this is the clan we got to hang with for a bit. These are some pics from our times together over the years. Thank you for being hearts that care deeply. You have been more than a blessing in our lives, you have been a great source of strength, wisdom and encouragement through every season. We love you, miss you and thank you so very much for your friendship. It was so good to be together and pick up where we left off...with much love and laughter as always! Till we meet again xooxox Much Love and watch out for Scotty, he pinches when you least expect it!

MOPS...Because Mothering Matters!

As a brand new mom in 2001, I attended my first MOPS group. MOPS? What is that? Mothers of Pre-Schoolers, you know the ones... the moms who look a little dazed and confused half the time and once they find an adult to speak with they tend to be either too exhausted to speak or all they can talk about is how worn out they are. Let's face it, kids are great, but exhausting! I found so much encouragement and growth as a mom and a follower of Christ through MOPS. These are some photo's of the wonderful women I served with over the years. We laughed, we cried, we shared good times and bad and I am a better person for it all. If you are a new mom and needing some girl time...MOPS is a wonderful safe place to be! For more info about MOPS go to http://www.mops.org/
