A weekend to remember...

This past week my husband needed to travel for a business trip. We decided to tag along and visit some family and friends in the area, while he was working. My Aunt lives there in the city, so me and my boys spent her day off from work going to lunch, seeing a movie and doing some shopping. The next day she had to work, so we decided to make a trip down to a nearby town to visit some friends. A year before Jason and I were married, he was transferred with his job. After we were married, that is where we lived for 4 years. Moving to a town where you know NO ONE was very hard for me. I prayed that I would easily make friends and find a church that I loved. Boy, did God answer that prayer! We made some of the most amazing lifelong friendships you could possibly imagine. Going back to visit many of them was so unbelievably theraputic. We had a chance to visit even more of them on our drive home the next day. These are the kind of friends that you hug the biggest, you laugh the hardest with, and you miss the most when you leave again. We all go through seasons in our life, seasons of too many friends and seasons of none at all. I was reminded this past weekend how these friends have painted my life with so many happy memories and how blessed I am to have them in my life. My question to all of you... "Who are the friends in your life that if you moved and no longer lived near, would you travel hours just to see?" "Who are the ones that you have moved away from, and you need to go see?" Those people likely have made huge imprints on your life, and if at all possible those relationships should never be allowed to die. They are too precious!
