Friends

-
It seems funny to me, how some days i feel like i don't have any friends. It must be a lie that satan whispers and i believe. Cause i have lots of friends, that truly care. There are friends all over the states and here that i couldn't replace or dream of ever doing so. It has been difficult for me the past few years as i continued to be single and in the same cycle of life as my friends one by one passed me on the track. It was a lonely spot, some times i dont' think handled it very well. I have two friends that walked with me thru that here in tx, & one in GA. Their advice an encouragment is priceless to me. People say that "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." The timing of Andrew definitely hit when i no longer could handle it.

Andrew has become my 'best' friend as they say. Someone who i have to talk to each day. He is the friend i must call when good, bad or funny things happen. One of the fun things of dating your best friend you are guaranteed to like his friends. Two people we really like are Kyle and Maddie.They have become our 'playmates' hahah Kyle and Andrew have been friends since first grade and i feel like i have known Maddie my whole life. They are fun and they like us! hahaha We had talked about going on a road trip together, but have run into a snag cause andrew and i will be married and they will not. We shall see...i think it can work! Thank you guys for being our friends! :)

We hope that all our friends feel as loved as we do. One small way of saying thanks is involving them in the wedding, and our lives. We are so thankful for the friends we have and look forward to making new ones!

Good post. I have that same thought from time to time. It normally hits when Monica is out of town and I'm home alone. It is a lie because I'm surrounded by good friends.

I love being your friend and I'm sorry I'm not better! Advice for the road trip, when we have hit that snag we work around it. You and Maddie could share a bed and the guys could share a bed. If you are able to stay at friends' houses- have them stay in different rooms. Road trips are the best and should be taken as much as possible.

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas

This past weekend Kimmel's mom's side of the family got together to spend some christmas time together. His grandmother rented out this really sweet quaint cabin near lake Whitney. His uncle's family came in from Houston area which is fun cause we don't get to see them often. Everyone loved on lil Eleanor and all her cuteness. We took a walk down to the lake to check it out. As you can see its not a swimming hole but more of a tree spot. Got this fun picture of kimmel's rock he skipped :) And tried to take a picture of us with the timer... We had fun, exchanged gifts, ate great food and talked and laughed about their lives. Let the holiday's begin!! No more school for Kimmel...2 weeks of rest! :)
