The Hillen Visit

This weekend our friends Dan, Jana and Micah came to town. We were thrilled to get to spend some time with them and our close friends Thomas, Dusti and Sela. These two families have meant so much to us since coming to Tuscaloosa. We met in our young married Sunday School class. We spent many hours playing cards, drinking coffee, making milkshakes, taking yoga classes (just the girls;) laughing and praying together. Then we had kids and each of us moved. Some across town and Dan and Jana to Indy. God continues to use these couples to bring me closer to him!
Micah and Noah are two days apart. Sela is six and a half months younger than the boys. When we were newly pregnant we of course dreamed they'd grow up best of friends. But God had different plans and put a little distance between us. For now we will settle for some good visits, like this weekend!
This first picture is of the boys when the Hillens visited last year the same weekend. The first set is of cupcakes to celebrate the boys half birthday and Sela's first birthday a couple of weeks ago. After that is from dinner Sunday at our house. We miss them already!

:) I LOVE the pics! Dusti's going to totally love that one of her and Sela - how cute is that?! We had such a great weekend and I totally enjoyed EVERY minute we had w/ you guys - whether we were just sitting on the couch watching the kiddos, or talking about life. I told Dusti that being at your house that last night totally made me forget we'd ever moved!!! It felt like just another night together, grilling out! I miss you guys so much and wish the kiddos could grow up together!! I love you, Carrie! Thanks for all of the memories and good times (and talks!)!
