I am so beyond blessed to have friends in my life who have stood beside me through many many ups and downs. Friends who understand my struggles. Understand my fears. Understand my hopes. Friends who embrace my Mom and her challenges after she cared for them for so many years. Friends who although we are now spread out by many miles years of memories will never be forgotten. I have two friends who I know that no matter how much we fail at our communication despite the best efforts will never not be there when I need them.
This weekend Mom and I drove to Lubbock to meet up with Laura Beth and then the three of us drove into Abilene to see our long lost friend who had returned from the African Bush.
I cannot believe that it had been almost 2 years since I had seen my Whitney. Saturday was a much needed rejuivanation of a friendship built on rock. Despite changes in our lives I still felt like we were those two nieve girls in highschool who had every class together and had every meal together. The only difference was that now Whitney is about 6 months pregnant and we have added another amazing friend to our group.
Mom, Laura Beth, and I drove straight into Abilene to Whitney's mom's house where we were greeted by Whitney, her Mom, and her Mimi who apparently things because Whitney is pregnant all of her friends are pregnant also. The four of us departed to a local Abilene eatery to catch up on our lives. We did a little retail therapy and grabbed dessert. It was so nice to surround my mom with these two familiar faces and spend the day laughing. We ended our time together eating burgers with Whit's family.
The lord has blessed me with these two amazing girls in my life and I treasure their friendships and their love and understanding!
