Special Friends, Great Celebrations

These are some good, no make that GREAT, friends of mine. It's crazy to be at the point in your life where you can say you've been friends for close to 20 years (!) but that is precisely the case with these girlfriends. I love them dearly! Pictured here are (L to R): Kris (pregnant with her 3rd baby girl), me, Susan (newlywed for just a short time longer), and Calley (also expecting another little girl). Another dear friend not pictured here is Amy, who is also part of this special group. We all grew up together at the same church, and these friendships have remained constant even through junior high, high school, college, marriage, kids, and busy, busy lives. Amazingly, we have all settled down here with our families, too. It is so fun to celebrate with one another through all of life's best moments and milestones, and equally precious to pray each other through the difficult times. Here we are at the Speckled Bird Cafe celebrating with Calley in anticipation of Chandler baby girl #3!
