We have been so blessed by friendship. When I was dreading leaving the country 5 or so years ago, I worried about not having friends. Ha! I have more friends now than I could have ever imagined. I have friends in states that I have never even traveled to and I have friends in countries that I had never even heard of before I met them. It has been such a wonderful year here in the states, since I have gotten to reconnect with old friends and meet a lot of new ones. After spending some time with our friends from Tennessee, I was able to catch up with one of my childhood friends, Mindy. We have been friends since I was in the 8th grade. We had a great time reminiscing about old times.

Then I topped the week off with a wonderful Mother's Day with my family and our friends, the Dysons. We met the Dysons when we started our journey in Mexico and it is just fitting that at the end of our 5 year mark, we would celebrate Mother's Day together. It was 5 years ago on May 7th, which was Mother's Day weekend that we landed in Costa Rica together. Oh, how time flies! I am not kidding, it really does.
My present from the boys, the book I wanted.

How many kids can fit in the back seat of and Explorer?
We also squeaked in a few football games, ballet lessons, and swimming lessons, plus a yard sale to boot. What a week. I am one tired Mama! Hope all of you had a wonderful week and an especially wonderful Mother's Day! Love to you all! Missy
