So this one might seem a little random because for a change there are no pictures of kids in this except for the one above where Will is trying to sneak in!! : )

Today is Sunny’s birthday.  She is a daughter of Christ, wife, mother of 3 awesome kids, a preacher’s wife, a teacher, a singer, a bargain shopper & a great friend.  She has blessed my life over the past 12+ years more than she will ever know.  There is a special bond that forms when you are in college together, in each other’s weddings, learn how to be minister’s wives together, have babies together and serve at the same church together.  We have seen a lot!  We have cried together and we have spent many hours laughing together.  My favorite moments are when our laughing makes us cry & our sides hurt like crazy! 

The interesting thing is that we would have never met if these two guys hadn’t become great friends first.

It doesn’t take long to pick up on their sense of humor when they are together.  They have a deep bond that is centered around Christ & serving others.  When they work together (which they did in college & then at Mayfair) mighty work gets done.  They complement each other and creatively become masterminds when they start planning. 

So what are mine & Sunny’s favorite things to do together?  Shopping, especially consignment, eating @ Little Rosie’s, talking, & telling stories about our kids and of days gone by.  We are good at closing down restaurants (not leaving until they lock the doors), protecting  & standing up for each other & encouraging each other in our walk with the Lord.

One of the absolute worst parts of moving to Atlanta has been moving 4 hours from these guys.  They are like family.    I love Sunny like a sister.  One of the things I have learned over the years is that best friends, the kind that always have your back, who love you even when you are wrong, who you feel the most comfortable with are really hard to come by.  So those friendships should be cherished & acknowledged.  So this blog entry is my way of saying thank-you for being that friend to me. 

Happy Birthday Sunny! 

Love you!

(P.S. I just found these pictures from last August @ the Milam wedding!)
