surprise!

Last night Jason and I were out at a FOTF Marriage Tour Night and when we came home there was this wonderful planter sitting here with my name on it... I opened up the card and to my huge surprise......it was from two lifelong friends from Saskatchewan! I was so surprised and so overjoyed! Thank You Jamie and Laurie from the bottom of my heart! I just love it! And THANK YOU to Alexa for doing the job of purchasing and delivering this to me yesterday! Sneaky, sneaky you three!

I thought I'd pay a little "tribute" to Jamie and Laurie. When I say lifelong friends, that's no exaggeration! The three of us have been friends since Nursery School!!!! When I moved here in 1987, we remained in contact through snail-mail... and the two trips my Family went back for a visit we were sure to hang out!
I found this picture of a little Sayonara 'party' my little school friends had for me when we were moving away... this is at Julie's house - do you remember it Jamie and Laurie? (Laurie's in the yellow and Jamie's is one of the taller ones in the back-left)And this is the last time I saw Jamie and Laurie... ten years ago at Laurie and Rolland's wedding in Alberta. My, it's time for a visit! (but we're working on that, right?!) Now we are all married with at least a few children! We keep in contact daily by the high-tech email and with these handy dandy blogs... I am so grateful for these two woman who encourage me, who love me, who are Women of God - and as M.W.S. "theme" song was, when we moved here, we are "Friends Forever". Thank you Ladies. God bless you richly! (maybe He'll bless you each with a plane ticket my way?! LOL)
