Great Weekend.....Greater Friends

I have some of the best friends ever. Now I have new friends, church friends, work friends, etc.. .and they are great too. In 7th grade I met the 11 closest friends I've ever had. Most of us went through grade school together and were friends even before that but that's when our "group" started. Now 23 years later we are all still friends. We keep in touch and try to get together a few times a year. This weekend we got together at Tracy & Tony's house in Mitchell, IN. 10 of us made it with kids in tow and a few husbands. My hubby was at our church men's retreat. We have an awesome picture of the 10 of us, a few husbands and our 17 children together. I will post that later. We had a blast eating, talking and the kids played so well together. Tracy & Tony have a beautiful home they have worked hard for and a huge yard. We had plenty of room for play time and a bon fire last night. I thank God for these wonderful friends I have and can count on any of them for anything and we are all believers in Jesus Christ...how awesome is that?!?!?
Here's who made it...Connie (Baker), Kerry, Grace, Luke and Eli Phillips; Tracy (Wood), Tony, Hannah and Dalton Clark; Lori (Carter), Adam, Aiden and Brenna Wenz; Tara (Perigo) and Mya Marotti {Jason and Lucy were home}; Jessica Tubbs; Susan and Dylan Barnett {Jim was home}; Sonya (Barnett), Emileigh, Alyson and Wyatt Franz {Eric was at the men's retreat}; Jennifer McConnel and Lois; Julie (Barnhill), Trey and Garret Whipple {Sam was home}; Me and the girls....missing were Jodi Haynes and Trisha (Ingram), Jason, Kelseigh, Jonah and Grace Howard.

Hey! I know Breena and Aiden Wenz. Breena went to Milestones. My friend Amy loved her and used to watch her all them time. We lost contact with them when she left Milestones though. :( If there is any way you could get a recent pic of her and send it to me so I can forward it on to Amy I would GREATLY appreciate it. Small world out there! Thanks, Christine

So happy that you have remained in close contact with so many of your friends. It's nice to have people who literally have known you "before" and "after"! Those are the ones who can keep you heavenly minded and God-centered and are just plain fun to be around!!
