Fun with Dear Friends

We drove over to Peoria, IL to spend the long labor day weekend with Rachel and Sam. It felt so good to see the town they live in, their home, school, and work places, and to meet their friends. We love that we can now picture them at those places when they tell us what their day was like and think of their friends when they talk about them and know who they are. It was hard to leave on Monday for both of us because we always have such a great time with them. There is such a comfort of being around old friends.

One of the highlights of the weekend was looking through Rachel's middle school and high school year books. We were all laughing so hard we were crying! Thanks for a great weekend guys...we miss you already! The pictures are of us by the Illinois river on our tour of Peoria!
