That's What Friends Are For!

A couple months ago a good friend of mine Beth came to me with an idea. She and her husband wanted to throw a dinner party in honor of our friends Jennifer and Matt.

Most of you already know Jennifer or follow her blog so you know that her and Matt are in the process of raising money to adopt. A while back ago, God made it very clear to them that this was his plan. 

We invited a bunch of our closest friends and secretly took up money for them. The looks on their faces when they realized it wasn't just a regular get together was absolutely priceless!

Jennifer and Matt, you are loved and supported by many. We are all on this journey with you and could not be happier for what is to come! 

Some people just do not realize how precious their family and friends are. I know that I will never take their love and support for granted! It is truly a blessing to be surrounded by such giving souls!

"Many people walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints on your heart."

Wow, you are the most fabulous friend ever. I hope to one day be able to help my friends do that. We've been able to send gift cards to a few of our friends who are unemployed for date night and i thin it is a win-win all around
