Thursday I went to Black Angus (the plan was The Ram but it was an hour wait) for Kristen's last once-a-month girls dinner. Kristen and her family are being medically discharged from the military and leaving in a week to move back home to SD. She's in her last trimester so pray their trip goes smooth and Baby Meyer doesn't come until after they're safe and sound back home. Patrick and I have known the Meyer family since 2001. We're glad they've been stationed here long enough for us to move back and see them again. It's kinda cool because right before we left WA in 2004, they had a daughter named Peyton born on Patrick & Moe's birthday.
We wish you well, Kristen & Jason!! God bless you as you make this transition! We will be praying for you! We've been blessed to have you as friends.

Today I drove to New Castle, WA for Liza & Andre's baby shower. Liza and I have known each other since I was 5 or 6 years old. We share a lot childhood memories such as being angels in Christmas plays, flower girls in a wedding, lighting candles prior to Sunday services together, and vacationing with each other's family. Unfortunately, life got busy and when she went off to school and I got married we pretty much lost touch. Thankfully we ended up in the same place recently and were able to catch up after 10 years. Liza and Andre are expecting their first baby boy in December. It was so nice to be a part of the celebration of his upcoming birth. Another great thing was her sister-in-law, Candice, flew out to help throw the shower. It's been about 10 years since I've seen her too. Candice is amazing! She made the shower special for Liza by bringing a touch of home from people who miss & love her.

A fun game where Liza had to choose the "best baby". Mine is the yellow baby in a cradle drinking a bottle--I didn't win. (Can be kinda creepy huh?)
