JenMoVal Weekend

This past weekend I got to spend a delightful weekend with two of my favorite people on the planet - Monica & Valerie. Monica & I have been friends since kindergarten. (That's Worthy's age now!!! - crazy. ) And Valerie and I were once bitter junior high enemies and evolved into treasured friends. The three of us have been tightly knit since then. In high school, we won the "Best Friends" award and we've only grown closer since then. As they live in Nashville & Columbus, it's difficult for all 3 of us to get together. So as our departure for Vienna approaches, we thought this would be a great time to "make it work". We all met in Columbus and had a wonderful weekend together.

Valerie (with her 2 kids), Me (and just Calvin) and Monica (with her 3 daughters)

We had the unique experience to all get married the same year and this past year we all had babies within 2 months of each other...
Charlotte, Calvin & Isabella
And I just loved this one with Cal eating his toes...

With all 6 kids (our oldest 2 stayed in Akron with Dan), we even got out for an excursion, otherwise known as an outing for the older kids to burn off some energy.

And this was just a fun picture of Calvin

There is no blog long enough to capture and explain how dear they are to me. They know me and my history. We can say one word and we all conjure up the same memories. I'm so thankful that God gave me these two women. (And I'm also thankful to Valerie - these are her pictures...)
