A date with Kelsey and the Ducks

A few nights ago I had the honor of hanging out with my bestie Kelsey! I try to spend time with her when I can but I admittedly have not spent very much time with anyone lately. Kelsey asks continously sending sweet texts like, We need to hang out soon. She is always welcoming me to particpate in what she is doing. I wanted to make sure our time together was quality. She is a true treasure that is often taken for granted.

We scheduled our date several days in advance. Nothing was going to keep me from our time together. I was trying to think of something fun and different to do. My pocketbook was a little on the empty side.

I decided on cooking chicken and rice at our house for us and then going to the park to feed the ducks. I picked Kelsey up as soon as I got off work. She ran to the door and greeted me with the biggest smile and hug!

We headed to my house to finish dinner. We sat on the porch while waiting for it to finish. Kelsey helped me fix the salad. We ate dinner while Drew mowed the lawn and then we were off to the ducks.

I stopped to buy a whole loaf of bread for our outing but we definitely should have had more than one. We laughed as they fought over the scraps we threw to them.

It was such a perfect night spent with a perfect girl! Kelsey has had trouble with "friends" in school this semester and it breaks my heart as it does her Mom and Sisters. There is nothing I would like more than to protect her from the pain of mean girls.

She is truly a gift from God for us here on Earth. I am blessed by the time we spend together!
