Friend time!

 

What a wonderful day! I had the blessing of visiting with some of my Georgia friends today. It was wonderful to see them again. Some of them I hadn't seen in 10 months since we moved to Tennessee. It's amazing how much kids change in that amount of time! I felt like I had never left and had a terrific time catching up with everyone and watching our kids play together.
I came back home tonight so that Abigail could go to her Summer Camp at church tomorrow. I knew it would be nice to have some time at home tomorrow to get caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, and errands. I was a little nervous about the drive home, knowing I was pretty tired and with both girls most likely sleeping most of the way, I wouldn't have anyone to talk to. I asked the Lord to really help me because the first 30 minutes or so I was feeling pretty sleepy. We stopped at Duncan Donuts for some iced coffee and a chocolate frosted donut. I figured that would help keep me going. Little did I know I wouldn't need any help staying awake, for sweet little Ava cried the last hour and a half home! It's pretty hard to feel sleepy with a crying baby in the backseat! So the Lord answered my prayer-just not exactly in the way I expected!
The picture above is of Abigail and her friend Lainey. They picked up right where they left off and had a blast playing together! I didn't take many other pictures of everyone-we were too busy talking and laughing together! To those who came today, I love you all and thank God for your friendships, in spite of the distance!
