Iowa babes and long time friends

In June I was able to go visit some of my very favorite people to be loved on and love back.  These five girls and I lived together our sophomore year in college and they later became some of my closest friends.  Together with them and two other units of girls (one living above and one living across the hall) we all became a tight knit group.  Through marriage, having children, cancer, losing parents, infertility, losing babies, moving across the country, and the world, having hardships with children, we have been through so much together, and been prayer warriors for one another.  God has taught us all  how to grow and continue to minister to one another.

Even though we all don’t live close in proximity, we are blessed to have each other sharing in our lives throughout the ups and downs.  And now, as we have kiddos, we continue to be able to share in life together.  Here is a snippit of some of our kids that spend the weekend with us!!

(My dream would one day get a photo of all the girls and their families together as one big group… Angie can I get you on that?!!  xo!)
