What a Weekend
LAURA was BACK.......WE HAD JUST 4 SHORT HOURS TO BE TOGETHER!!!
Friday was my last day with Laura, as many of you know if you read my post. When I got home from school I was almost immediately greeted by my dear friends. This is them as I opened the door!!!! hahahhahah Laura flew in the night before and flew out Sunday night. We did not have much time together but it was def quality!!!!!!
taking some last photos together...sadness
We then headed to the salon to get Laura's toes touched up from her pedicure earlier that day. She may be going away for 2 years but your toes always need some lovin!!!!!!
priorities ladies, priorities!!!!
posing with this large eagle in the nail place........weird and random
Then it was off to PF CHANG's!!!!!!! one of our favorites. Laura has been in training for 2 solid months and it was so nice to hear about everything she learned. She is so prepared and ready to serve. Father has really been at work and it was so beautiful to see so much of him in her!!!!
of course....the KELLY pic.......a must for the blog!!!!!!
OUR LAST PHOTO TOGETHER
FOR MANY MONTHS..
It was very hard to say goodbye. The major blessing in all this is the fact that just last year I had to do the very same thing with Amy. I see it as preparation time for me. I got very emotional talking with them because he has daily increased my prayer life to the point that I fully understand and have experienced how he keeps friendships alive and very active while we are miles away. PRAYER IS EVERYTHING! The same is true for many of you that I pray for daily. I don't need to know your voice and your laugh in order to be connected to you. Through prayer for you the bonds are formed! PRAISE YOU Father...Laura in now in the sky for many many many long hours. Please pray for safety and peace!!!
Saturday Amy and I went to the Park
to see our dear friend Davy...who is also leaving for 2 years.....and enjoy a cookout!

When I got in the car sat. afternoon I had several things that I wanted to do. But the minute I pulled away from the park the Holy Spirit said go "here".....so I did and I will write later today to tell you my exciting news for the future. I can't wait to share!!!!!!
