My best friend, Rebecca, is engaged and we are thrilled! I actually set her up with her with her future husband, Justin, when we were in college. (They are my 1st success story :)) We have been friends since I was four months old! Her parents lived two houses down from mine and I have always loved her so much. She has been a wonderful friend to me and recently I have found myself hoping that Samuel finds a friend like Rebecca.
We have been through so much together. She has always accepted me for who I am and has loved me through the good and bad. :)
We had an engagement party for her at my parent's house on Saturday. Robin did all of the decorating and everything was beautiful. This is the desert table.
This picture is out of order but these two are a MESS! Finley and Samuel are only 6 months apart and do not understand the concept of sharing :) Finley is so sweet to him and gives Samuel plenty of hugs and kisses.
The banner said, "Owl always love you."
Our two handsome little boys.

This is Rebecca's sister, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and me with our Justins! They all three share the same name. CRAZY! Sometimes on the phone we have to clarify which one we are talking about :)

THE ZOO
On Thursday Justin and I took Samuel to the zoo. We had beautiful weather and so much fun! I have never seen so many strollers/ children in one place and I kept thanking God for blessing us with Samuel. During the years of infertility going to the zoo would have made me cry. I felt so much joy all day. This scripture always comes to my mind
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; Isaiah 61:3
We started off the day with Samuel in the stroller...not for long!
My beautiful, happy baby and me.
Justin ended up carrying him on his shoulders all day.
Samuel was thrilled!
Sleepy boy heading to Laurinburg. My parents welcomed us with one of my favorite meals. We made some sweet memories. My precious little boy is a constant reminder of God's faithfulness and sovereignty.
Beth, Why the four months with Rebecca. Ya'll have known each other from birth. Oh well the pictures are great and even though we shared the weekend it's still fun to see the pictures. The zoo ones were especially great to see. He looked like he was having so much fun. I wish you would have taken some at the park in Laurinburg. He is great on the big slides.SOOOOOO adorable. Mom
ReplyDeleteRebecca has always been so sweet. I am happy for her! The pictures are great. The kids are precious! I totally understand about the zoo. I feel the same way when I get to experience places like that with my beautiful boy!!!
