A Friend Like Mine...

It's been a hard week.

I found out some troubling news.

A friend has cancer.

Please pray for healing.

For hope.

For peace.

Thanks, friends.

In much more exciting news,

I'm headed to the mountains tomorrow

to see my best friend Jennifer...just me.

After such a busy, hard week,

I need this getaway more than ever.

It has me feeling all sentimental and

appreciative for this friendship.

I hope you have a friend like mine.

One who makes you feel calmer

the second your eyes meet.

One who is a better listener than talker.

One who delights in your successes

and encourages during your failures.

One who loves you unconditionally.

One who you don't have to explain anything to.

One who just gets you.

I hope you have a friend like mine.

Our Weekend in Pictures

Since I'm finding myself experiencing blog-block

ever since we've been back from the relaxation

of the mountains and good friends, I thought I'd

just leave you with some pictures to take a gander at.

We had a fantastic time doing lots of easy-going,

no schedule, let's-have-fun stuff. It was great.

Emma in her watch tower.

Kids keeping cool with ice pops...

...and sprinklers.

Our best friends, Jennifer and Tim.

Emma hanging on, but still smiling...sort of.

My two favorites in the whole world!
