Reminiscing --- Two (insert picture of a bee)-uitiful Girls

Hola!

Happy weekend once again ... times is flying, as usual! I'm glad it's the weekend.

Last night our church had a "drive-in" movie night outside after service (we have a Friday night service along with Sunday ... kinda like a Wednesday night, but on Friday instead). We didn't go to church last night, but as we were eating dinner we were watching it live online and then we remembered that the movie night was last night so we decided, hey, we should go. (Ha, last night's message was entitled "Enjoying Life", so we thought it appropriate to go and enjoy life ; )

Anyways, we didn't even end up watching the movie because we got to talking to people instead. I hadn't seen my best friend since 5th grade, Danelle, in a long time so it was good to "catch up" with her a little bit. I miss you, Danelle!! I'm convinced everyone needs a "Danelle" for a best friend growing up. I was just reminiscing looking through some old pictures and here's some pictures that capture "us" pretty well, haha. Ha, and this might only be funny to us but one time when we were looking through these pictures and we came to this next one, she very seriously and thougtfully said and I quote, "I really like this picture ... (pause) ... except for ... (pause) ... your face". We laughed a lot. I said, so basically, you just like this picture of yourself?? Haha, oh, Danelle! Here's us trying to fly kites with two dollar Disney character kites ... but it was too windy and our kites didn't work very well. I could go on and on about memories with Danelle! I probably would have been quite a boring person without her in my life ... we were constantly and always laughing our heads off!! Pictures just don't even do it justice. I'm so very thankful and blessed to have had all those wonderful years with Danelle and I'm glad nothing can take them away. We don't get to see each other much these days, even though we live in the same town (we moved from NE to MO together after high school) but not matter what, I will always, always remember all the amazingly fun and wonderful times we had together and I will never forget what a great person and wonderful friend Danelle has always been to me : )

Me, Danelle, and my sister, Karmon


Ha, and this last one's for you, Danelle, and you know why ; )
