Friends

So, I've been thinking on how super important friends are.  How I would spend my entire day investing, learning, laughing and just doing life with friends if I could....no kidding.  However, real life enters and my husband needs a convo (well, who are we kidding?  he doesn't hardly ever need to talk, I just tell myself that:) and the kids, well, they need everything:)

I'm always trying to find balance in the giving of time and energy to others.  My heart is to love on people. Yes, the lady holding up the line at wherever is sometimes me.  Or striking up a convo at the gas pump...i mean, really, when else are you just standing there for 10 min by someone.  It should be mandatory to start a convo....who knows what you could learn?!  And yet, there are days like today when I'm just chill.  I like those days too.

God has a sweet way of reminding me that He loves me so much....it pretty coolio.  He does it in the smallest ways usually...someone remembering me, a lil txt of care, a great sunset or just His Word....Today is was in a phone call from a gal who i think is COOL.  She is growing, changing her life and just chasing with all she has after Christ.  For that, she gets a huge high five in my book.  I had txted her about something and I guess it was a reminder that God loves her....amazing.  It made my day that she made the effort to call.

So, all this rambling just to say that I love having good girlfriends...they 'get me' and put up with me.  I am thankful.  I want to honor them well.  I want to show up for them.  I want to point them to Him.

Fondue/Firepit...

Oh it was fun alright:))  The kids loved dipping their stuff and making a big mess!  In fact, I still need to go clean up that nonsense!!  Kevin made our fire so awesome...someday we'll have a rockstar firepit...that would be so fun!!  Oh well, it's fun now, just a little dangerous:)  Living on the edge here at our house!!  Love having family night!!

The grand-rents are coming!!!

My rents were able to come for a night, so game on:)  The kids love to play bball, board games, you have it....they go a bit crazy.  Kev and I wonder why they get so stinking excited...maybe it because my folks use to live an hour away and now are almost 3, so we just don't see them as much OR maybe it's bc they are really fun...who knows:)

Love these pics...just cannot take enough of them.  After attending a funeral this week of a fabulous woman, I was reminded of the importance of pictures, seriously.  Just wished that everyone had them of themselves and their family!!!!
Barrett was attached to Dad after he realized he could help him dunk it...stayed there for like 10 minutes...Dad was a champ and did it about that many times:))
I seriously hope I have a chance of looking as young as my mama does in this pic...whoa!!

Umm yep, he's my man...and he's so lovable.  He is AMAZING and I just totally dig him.  It's funny how long and short our almost 13 years seems.
