Friends.

Today Jace & I got to spend the day with our sweet friends, the Schmidt's.

We are so thankful for wonderful friends. The ones that you feel like you are so much alike you can be yourself with them & they just "get" you. The ones who treat your kids like their own. The friends that no matter how much time you have spent apart when you see one another you pick up right where you left off. We are blessed to have several friends like this, however, today I was so glad to see our friends... Nick, Jill, Mason, & Drake.

We took the boys to Chick-fil-a, to the park, then just hung out & was able to catch up with each other! It was so nice to be around familiar faces & feel comfortable with friends. Jill & I are the kind of friends that are so much alike its weird... I love that we don't have to explain ourselves but just know exactly where the other one is coming from. 

Just a few years ago we were roommates with them in California during the baseball season & at that time Jill & I both were pregnant with our boys... Drake & Jace... Mason was just 2 at the time. Today our boys were playing in the next room while we were able to catch up & Mason was on prayer patrol at dinner ;) Oh how time flies! It feels like just yesterday we were 2 pregnant girls eating & napping alot :)

These past few months as a family they have been rehabbing in Peoria, AZ after Nick's 2nd surgery on his arm. He is a left handed pitcher with the Padres organization & just has a few more weeks until he can hopefully get back to the game. I have been so inspired by their faith during this time. As we all can imagine rehabbing can be a frustrating time especially for them as it is their 2nd time to go through it, however, God has been doing some amazing things through them during this time. I am excited to see where God takes them! They are so special to us! Thank you Schimdt family for being an inspiration to us!

Please be praying for Nick, Jill, Mason, & Drake as they finish up with their time in AZ & on to play this game called baseball!
