Company is Coming

This weekend was something to look forward to indeed!  My friend from North Carolina came in for a quick visit and we spent the day enjoying some fellowship and good food.  We had some fantastic tomato basil soup and pizza's from a Italian restaurant.  We shopped some and then had ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery!  :)  Delish!!!  It was medicine for my soul to see her and spend time with her, it has been over a year since we have been able to spend time together in person.  Thankfully we can share time over the phone everyday, but it's not the same as "in person".

And of course, Sunday was Easter and it was an amazing time for my husband I to spend with my mom and with our boys and with my youngest son's girlfriend Taylor!
