Elder's A & B...

When I think of a missionary, first of all... I picture Josh's face in my mind as he was "impossibly" found by our tour guide and drove back to our Hotel in Peru for dinner. Yep!... this was on his mission.  Btw... that was an answer to my prayers!!!!   Secondly, I perceive them as having NO personality at all... but, discussing work of the gospel and that's IT (sorry, that's probably rude.)  :) :)

I have found my last statement to be false!!!  It has been such a joy to have the missionaries over for Josh's delicious dinners and my burnt bread!!!  They are not only fully filled with the spirit, but they DO have personalities and are very facetious and full of crap along with many stories!  Oh, and.... we're reminded that we are old!  Ha, ha, ha!.... it'll catch up to ya, guys!!!!  I'm so sad to see Elder Anderson a lil' trunkie and ready for his Journey to End, and Elder Barfuss ready and rollin' on to a new Journey in Cali!  We will MISS both of you so much!!!!  We hope to see Elder Barfuss again soon!.... and Elder Anderson in the future!  Good Luck!!

Elder Barfuss, Josh, Elder Anderson

Old Friends..... Always Friends!

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley
After 10 years we finally made it happen!  How crazy that 10 years have gone by and we've only talked but a few times.... and, really... it only seems like it was a couple years since we last visited!  I'm so happy that Kindra MADE this work!  She was persistant and said, "I'm seeing you before I go back to school in Feb!"  So, we picked a day and made it an official date! 
Now, this is how I like to spend a beautiful day!.... with a friend sitting on the beach with your feet buried in the sand, chatting and watching the amazing waves while laughing and crying with each other!  Then grabbin' some tacos a block away.  Then... back to the beach again!

Can you believe we DIDN'T stop yappin' for like 6 hours!!!  Oh, it was so delightful to see my sweet friend again and catch up on life!  I've missed her beautiful face and laugh so much!  I wouldn't trade the world for the true and dear friends I have in my life that have been there for me through thick and thin!... those that have let me use their shoulder to cry on and use their sleeve to wipe my snot away with! ;) :) :)  You know who you are.... and I LOVE YOU...... ALWAYS!!!

Can't wait for our next "date" lady!... I just love ya!!! :)

Thought of the day:

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me. ~AU
