Long Time Friends

We all have long time friends. At least I hope you do. I am sure you do. You do, right? Of course.

I have a long time friend, Annie, whom I have known since undergrad school. The class was a computer class of some sort, first day, and in walks Annie, sits down beside me and says, "Hi! I am Annie! Let's be friends!"

And that was that.

Oh how times have changed! If our future selves would have contact us back then, there really is no way I would believe how things are now.

All that being said, my dear friend Annie, her husband Mike and their three children, Matthew, Evelyn and Jonah came and visited us.

I was amazed at how BIG Matthew had grown. I have known him since he was just a tiny peanut in his Momma's belly. What a story there...and his name tells it all - Matthew - Gift of God. Here are a few pictures of all of us over the past many years:

Now there are three...and look how BIG Matthew is!!

And I had the pleasure of finally spending some time with Evelyn

And finally meeting Jonah

What an amazing ride it has been for all!

(As evidenced by the pictures, quite a bit of beer has been consumed in the last four years...probably time to go back to wine and liquor!)
