We welcomed in 2015 with some of our dearest friends The Carroll's and the Forsythes' . We have been ringing in the new year together for at least 15 years. At one point we lived next door to the Carroll family, which is how it all started. Though, we moved away 11 years ago. To the far side of the county😥 and across 3 bridges (as our little guy counts distances) .
There is something special about friendships that stand the test of time and distance. An hours drive away is not so devastating, although if you have had the privilege to drive in the I5 region of the Puget sound, an hours drive is truly devotion to your destination.
What a blessing to arrive and unload our van for an overnight adventure, with 6 people moving in for 24+ hours of fun memories and the only groaning comes from Mr Kitty.🙀
It's so fun to connect and just pick up where we left off the last time we were all together. There is never that awkward unknown moment of talking.
God has truly blessed us with many good friends through the years. Our New Years family is the anchor to all our other friendships.
My hopes for the New Year is to live life seeking joy in each day. Focusing on God's mercies that are new each and every day. Strengthening our friendships and family relationships is the goal for the year. Nothing else has more importance than building strong relationships surrounded by Gods love.
I hope that as I just share our daily chaos,it will be a reminder to find the joy within the crazy ,fun, long,weary,exciting,happy,sad and completely unknown journey ahead.💜
