One of the great blessings in my life

Let me start by saying sorry for no picture or updates on the blog for a while. It was not letting me upload pictures. So, instead of going back and adding my Christmas picture and try to back track I am just going to start off from last weekend.
I am blessed beyond measure to have great friends. These are 3 friends who have known me for 15 years. It has been since 1998 that all 3 of us have been together... much too long. I have been able to see each of them at some point since then but not all 3 of them at the same time. We were all able to get together this past weekend.
We were able to catch up on each other's lives. We shared the good and the difficult things... we laughed and cried. These are the friends who I can pick up with even though time has passed since we saw each other last. I thank God for this opportunity it was exactly what I needed. Thanks Amy, Steph, & Wendy for being a huge encouragement to me.
I am so thankful to Sean for watching the boys for me. And thanks to Gil, Jason, & Nathanial for supporting your wives so that they could come.
I am also glad to say that each of them is still walking with the Lord... Glory be to Him!
Here are a few pictures from our trip to Solvang, CA.
