Blessings in Friends

(For a long time it seemed we did not have any friends here in Dallas. I am very thankful therefore, to be reminded of the friends we do have now- old and new.) Dillons best friend Jason was in town on Thursday and Friday night. When the two of them get together Dillon becomes giddy and even more out of control. Thursday they had a total guy day-Wings, Beer, then the pool hall for some football. Friday they golfed, and that night we all attempted to escape the rain and make it out to the Texas Stadium for some baseball, but unfortunately we were not successful. After racing through the parking lot towards the stadium as it started to rain, we decided to race back through it to the car when we concluded the game was surely cancelled. We were drenched but safe! We ended up meeting our friends Max and Laura for dinner at a delicious Mexican diner. Saturday I made biscuits and then the boys said goodbye. It was still raining outside so I took advantage of the timing and decorated for Fall. It was so cozy inside with the sky dark, and a Pumpkin candle burning. That night we met up with some Dumas friends who were in the area. John was in the youth group, and we got to know his family well during our 2 years there. They were supportive of us from the first time we met, and I imagine (and pray!) we will be lifelong friends. Sunday morning we met up with 2 Lubbock friends that now go to the church we just started going to, then savored the lazy afternoon. We enjoyed finally catching up with the Geyers that evening over conversation, pizza and frozen yogurt. So Penny has never sat in this chair until last night. She apparently loves Mrs. Emily- cute picture!
