Friends

We were invited to our friends pool for dinner and swimming, such a beautiful day and a gorgeous night!  This is the shot I took from my phone as we were leaving.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how lucky we've been with having such great friends.  Not just "hey, how ya doin'" friends, but friends that are like family, friends that I could call and they'd be here just like family.  We've lived away from our families for 10.5 years now...sometimes it's hard not being there for all the fun and even not so fun moments when I want to show support.  What a blessing to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, no matter where we move in the WORLD we have a built in family.  I hope that I can be that person who is like family when no family is around.  
We have also been lucky to have incredible neighbors who have been so much fun, so kind and generous...what a huge blessing!  Thank you!

Art Class

Yesterday the girls said they wanted to draw a temple and paint it in, I was all for it and we started. I didn't help them with any of it, I just gave suggestions as they asked for them. I was really impressed with their tenacity to finish, only a couple breaks and then back to work. They worked on them for a couple hours! So proud.
