Connecting...

This morning I met my SiSteRs for breakfast!

Not blood sisters, but friends that are like sisters...

sisters that fill my heart.

We met at a little bakery in my hometown.

It was so awesome to get back.

The former owner was a classmate's mother.

The new owner is someone I knew in high school.

Things have changed a bit...

but at the same time, have stayed the same.

I thought my heart was going to explode today.

Spending time with my two best friends and their boys...

My friend Alyssa and I met about a year ago and had an instant connection.

As an adult, connections like this are far and few.

Meanwhile, I met Kristen when we were 3. She is home.

How many adults are so connected to a childhood friend?

Last night Jon picked two perfect pumpkins from our little pumpkin patch.

I made a card for each friend using scrap washers from Jon's Grandpa's barn. I tied the cards onto the pumpkins...

(It's September 1...and I'm ready for a bit of fall!)

Each card read: Make New Friends, But Keep The Old...One Is Silver And The Other's Gold.

I am VERY blessed to have these two sisters in my life.

They mean the world to me.

Speaking of sisters...I believe my own sister, Andee (who sadly lives 4 states away) taught me the Silver And Gold jingle when we were little.

Yep, she's a cool cat like that!

After our breakfast, I picked Laney up from school...she definitely enjoyed the little bit of sugar that I had waiting for her!
She said I can go back to that specific bakery ANY TIME I WANT!

That's my sweet baby girl!

Here's to a very, very full heart.

Such amazing friends are a true gift!
