30 Years!!!

Today, August 13th, was 30 YEARS for these two.

Woohoo!!

Last night we went out to dinner and they shared stories of their wedding day with us.
Who knew by thirty years they'd have
4 daughters
3 son-in-laws
and 3 1/2 grandbabies!?!

I am so thankful for parents who are STILL married. I am so thankful that our kids will have generations of examples of healthy marriages!
You've given us a RICH heritage!

We receive the blessing of your commitment to your covenant before the Lord!!
We cherish your faithfulness!

We love you Mom & Dad!!
We hope that in 27 1/2 years we're still enjoying each other like you are!

P.s. Happy Birthday Jenny Isaminger!! I love you and you are sweet treasure to me!! I wish I could have been with you to celebrate your wonderful day!

Lessons on being a Good Friend

(my girlfriends)

Um.
I once was a REALLY great friend.
I made my friends feel special and made sure that they NEVER doubted how much I adored them.
Why don't I still do that?
Read here for a lesson on being a good friend. (ha!)

I love my friends.
This Love
...takes risks.

...puts itself out on the line.
...listens when it wants to give advice.
...forgives.

..sits in the driveway and cries.
...tells you when you have a boogie or a pantyline.
...talks on the phone for hours.
...blesses just because.
...blesses beyond offense.
...doesn't just listen, but hears.
...keeps no record of wrong.
...laughs until it tinkles a little.
