Happy Together

How very blessed, and busy, have we been lately? Extremely! In one week we had Katie come join us and one of my bestest friends ever and her husband visit. It was such a wonderful week. I wish we could do it every week! Erin and I ALWAYS have the best time together. It doesn't matter what we are doing we always laugh and get along so well. Jeremy, Erin's husband, is this total computer geek but just the nicest geek you will ever meet. He is social, friendly, kind and giving and I am so happy God blessed him with my friend Erin. :) Not only was it Easter weekend that they came, but also Erin's 30th birthday. Erin chose to spend her birthday and her first married Easter with us and we were honored to have them and so excited to see them. Whenever I see Erin and then we are apart again I am reminded of how lucky we are to have the friendship we have and so thankful that it can stay so strong over so many years and so many miles. But sometimes I wonder why God has us so far apart. Anyway, it was an amazing visit and I miss her more than ever. I have awesome pictures and memories of their time here with us in our new home and life in AZ.

The first morning they were here we did a little hiking in the preserve by our house. I wanted to go too so we took Jamie along. The "in-shape" parent, my husband, ended up carrying her most of the way but we all had fun and it was another perfect morning in AZ.

Then we came home and lounged by the pool. Another perfect day to lounge by the pool in AZ. Erin's brother and sister-in-law came over for a birthday lunch for Erin and hung out with us until early evening. It was such a nice time relaxing at our beautiful home and catching up on our lives and our tans.
Me and Erin.
