Girlfriends, like gold!

This summer we were blessed with spending some great time with some very special friends. At one point this summer, my 4 closest girlfriends (the ones that in in Riverside) were all out of the country at the same time! So when they came back, we spent as much time together as we could! The girlfriends I have met down here have been priceless, purer than gold, and it has been so special to experience this time of life together. This is me, Kat, Dayna, Staci, and Saskia at Dayna and Cesar's wedding!
Staci and I with the beautiful pregnant Emily and sweet Whitney!

At Dayna's shower!

My bestest friend Jennae came and visited! This girl is hard to be away from!

The boys being manly!

This was suppose to be a good-bye party for the Hunts and welcome home for the Rendels, but it's 2 weeks later, and the Hunts are still here! But we're not complaining!

The Hunts are waiting to go back to teach in the Middle East, and the Rendels were in Africa with their family for 4 months this summer!

Welcoming home Saskia, who was gone for 3 months this summer in North Africa!

It's both exciting and hard to think that there will come a time, probably soon, where we will all be separated, hopefully serving over seas and attempting to reach the lost, but we will probably be apart. But this time of building our marriages and faith and trust in the Lord together has been so encouraging and essential for us. We are so thankful for these friends and the many more that we get to live life with!

Thank you Lord for blessings us with people who love you and desire to serve and make much of you! Please be with us as we all seek to fulfill your will.
