The Friend

Adam and I are both blessed with amazing friends. There is something about having friends who have known you since childhood and still want to be your friend :) It is my hope for Noah that he can have these lifelong friendships as well. It has been really awesome to watch these friends have children and be able to share all the firsts. I know we can't force our children to be friends but I like to think that maybe they will be friends and grow up creating memories together. Last night we had the Looney Family over for fajitas. The first time I met Brandon and Micheal I was really nervous. Adam and I had only been dating two months and I really liked him and wanted his friends to like me to. I had passed the test with his Auburn friends since those were the ones who had introduced us, but I had yet to meet Brandon and Eric. Adam and watched the Alabama Auburn game at their house while they were at the game. I remember meeting Micheal at Brandon's house briefly. The next memory I have of Brandon and Micheal is at their rehearsal dinner. I remember tearing up several times at the amazing testimonies their friends and families gave about each of them and their love for God and for each other. I remember praying for their marriage and thanking God for Adam and such great friendships. I really enjoy the time we spend with Brandon and Micheal and now their son Cohen and soon their daughter Harper. Cohen and Noah are just a few months apart, which used to be a big difference but as they get older it gets less important. Cohen is adorable and has a sweet spirit. I hope that as our families remain friends that Cohen and Noah can really be friends and can enjoy each other and learn from each other as they grow up. If I could handpick Noah's friends Cohen would be among them because I see how his parents are praying for him and training him up to be a man of God! This has been way more sentimental than I intended it to be but here are some pictures of Noah and his friend Cohen!
