The Girls

Carrie, me, Brandi, and Nicola
I'm not completely sure how we got together, but the four of us have been "the four of us" for the last year. We get together on a regular basis to pray, study, and more often than not, talk. We talk about things women talk about- our children, our husbands, our insecurities. Sometimes it's deep, sometimes not so much.
I feel like I can be myself completely with these girls. They know my (many) shortcomings and somehow love me anyways. I could go on and on about how each of these girls has blessed my life.
Last night was one of the last nights the four of us will get together because the four of us will become the three of us. Carrie is moving back to the states in February. This girl has blessed my family and me in so many ways. I am not the only one, though, who will miss her- she has blessed a LOT of people!
So, girls, please know that I cherish our time together. I am humbled and honored that you would put up with me. I am thankful for what I learn from all three of you each time we are together.
Carrie- I think you already know how much you'll be missed. But, we'll work on that webcam thingie, alright?

Hi: Is this the Erin that used to be my wonderful 3rd floor apartment neighbor in the Houston area? It's Melissa, and I don't know what brought you to mind today...but I finally remembered your last name and did a search. Your blog popped up, and your family is beautiful! I think you were pregnant with Silas at the time, and Sam was just a tot. It's been many years back, but I hope all is well with you. How can I communicate to/with you?
