Great Friends

Do you have friends in your life that just never fail to amaze you? I have decided that we have some of the best friends. Lets start this by saying life has been a struggle this recently. My husband just graduated! hurray!! These last few weeks have consisted of job searching and it has been a struggle to get by finacially while trying to find a job. Well my friend gave us a wonderful opportunity to go on a date. They offered to watch our kids, and gave us a gift card that payed for our dinner. Now this is no small task for someone to watch our four very young children. We were fealing very thankful to have such great friends but wait it gets better. We left our van with them to that if anything, (heaven forbid) were to happen they would have a way to get all the kids somewhere. Now when we left the van it was getting quite low in fuel. However when we return, we quickly notice that our gas gage is on full. They never fail to amaze me. To them they acted like it was no big deal, but we will remember this forever. As I was visting with my parents and grandparents today I mentioned what they had done for us. My grandpa, ( a very wise man) then stated those are friends you are lucky to find. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank You!

Oh that is so nice! I want a friend like that here! I don't need anybody to even fill my tank..I just want someone I can trust who can watch Carter while Josh and I have a date! Alas, no such luck yet...but I am sure eventually we will find someone...until then Carter will just have to tag a long!

We miss you guys...I regret not being a better friend while we had you around. Hindsight is always 20/20...I just hate that we were always so busy to even think! But I am grateful for your willingness to always give to me and make sure we were okay! So thank you for being a good example to me! And hold onto those good friends you were posting about...they sound like keepers!
