Why my friends Rule

So I'm done with my Rules of Engagement stuff, and still have a few minutes to work on this.

This summer, we went to Carpenteria with some of our friends. I love my friends. I think God gives us friends so we can get a small glimpse of what Heaven will be like. The only problem with friends is that I get really attached to them. Then they move or I do something stupid that distances them, and that hurts. Sometimes friends just drift away - life happens and takes us in different directions. I'm much better with writing than speaking, so I know I don't tell my friends enough how much they mean to me. And I suck at corresponding, mostly because I'm impatient and don't have the time to write letters. But now that I'm blogging, I have a way to communicate, at least a little better. And since the whole world can read it, I become a little more transparent at the same time. Yay.


Here are some pics from that trip. And for my friends, old, new, and unknown, I love you all. God has always surrounded me with good friends, and I am blessed to have always had the best friends in the world.

These are some of my favorite pictures. The big group pictures alway make me happy. The picture of the kids wading in the waves pretty much captures the essense of the trip - Good firends hanging out, doing nothing more than having fun and enjoying each others company.
