Quality Time With Friends
I have moved around several times in the past 12 years and it is always great to make new friends, enjoy new cultures and to see what a truly beautiful country we live in. One thing I have realized though, is that there is nothing that can compare to the joy felt when you reunite with those people who have known you for countless years….. They know the good, the bad and the ugly about your life and still love and support you in spite of yourself. Here are some of those special people in both mine and my husbands lives.
Me and my high school friend Natalie who has been living happily in Colorado for the last several years. She came to visit for the holidays and we had the opportunity to hang out.
My friend Dee who I met when working at Gold’s Gym in Virginia. She flew out to CA for Thanksgiving and was there to see us off during our move. She has always been able to make me smile when life seemed as though there was nothing to smile about. LOVE THE DEE!!!!
This is our friend Carrie who I met through Dee and she and her cousin moved to CA about 1 1/2 years ago. She and her girlfriend hosted Thanksgiving Dinner at their house just before our move. My husband and I always considered Carrie, Sheri and Drew (not shown) our California family. I will post pix of Sheri and Drew when I get some other pix off my laptop. Hopefully they already know how much we appreciate their friendship!
This is my husbands good friend that he has known since grade school; Brian. His son Jacob was born on Chrismas day and after we had Christmas Lunch with them we had his birthday party that night. This shows Jacob getting his 10 birthday spankings.
Brian’s daughter Kirstyn was born on New Years Day and this picture shows her in all of her glory at her 6 year old party opening her gifts.
This next one made just about everyone in the room tear up. Brian gave Kirstyn a ring to keep him in her thoughts during his 12 month deployment to Iraq. He will be leaving on Jan 24th.
