Dear Friends

This last week Shaelynne said good-bye to a dear friend. Logan has lived down the street since we moved into this neighborhood. We never believed the day would come when her family would move away. Shaelynne wanted to spend one final day with Logan doing something fun. We took Logan, Shaelynne, and Sylee (another friend from our ward) to Scrapin' Girlfriends to make bracelets and then out to Daisy's for volcano drinks. They had a great time together. It was sad to see Logan leave and Shaelynne wasn't the only one who cried buckets of tears. All my kids moped around for days after the final trailer pulled out of the subdivision. Their family will definitely be missed.

A couple years ago Logan's mother, Stacy, came over to dance in a summer rain storm with my kids because her kids were out of town. I was annoyed with the sudden down pour. Stacy told me she never let the chance to dance in a summer rain storm pass and wanted to borrow my kids since her's weren't available. I stood where it was dry and took pictures. While I missed the opportunity to dance with my kids, she taught me a life changing lesson that day. Ken's cousin made this picture up for me. I am thankful that Heavenly Father allows us to experience priceless moments with good friends that will stay in our hearts forever, especially when life's journey's leads them far away from us.
