Happy Birthday Kelly & Missing my British friends

Well, it's been awhile since I have updated. It has been a busy few weeks, that's for sure.  

Kelly just celebrated her 25th birthday, November 11. Hard to believe our baby is 25!! 

Dan and I, Kelly and Josh and my youngest son Chris all went out to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate, along with some shopping.  Had a great time together. 

 Our dear friends, Tina and her daughter Simone, were here in our area, from England for about ten days with a mission team group that Tina was leading. They did a lot of youth out reach, ministry work, etc. Plus some sight seeing and touristy type outings. I spent much of the the time with the group, helping drive and work along side with them. It was wonderful. I miss them all so much.

I took a lot of photos, made a lot of beautiful memories with all of our old & new friends.

 I look forward to when I can see them again..someday.

Be blessed..always

lots of memory making

We have been enjoying time with friends and family the past couple of weeks and it isn't even the holidays yet.  As I mentioned before our dear British friends, Dave & Tina and two of their children, Ashley & Simone were here in the area, we had some great get togethers with them!  Dave went back on Saturday, Tina, Ash and Simone left this evening, in fact they are flying right now. Oh my, how we are going to miss them! :(

My nephew Derek is home for a few days on leave from the Navy, his girlfriend Honey came with him. Honey is such a lovely person, I am so happy we are able spend time with them both and we have this chance to get to know her!

 Last night we went to Derek's  youngest daughter, Lily's birthday party. She just turned three. The party was held at my brother Tim & sister in law Jennifer's house. (Tim is Derek's Dad).

Lots of people, lots of food, lots of fun!

And I took LOTS of pics..here are a couple.

We have had so much fun lately, making lots of happy memories. And of course I have drove everyone crazy taking photos!

Derek & Honey will be in town a couple more days, so we should see them again before they head back to Virginia.
