Refreshing

My best friend FOREVER, Maricela, came into town for a couple of days with her son, Abel. Just a brief history of Mars. We went to High School together in Seattle, WA. We instantly became friends. There is just something about Maricela that is so...refreshing...it is the only word I can think of. She is, by far, one of the few friends I have that really motivates me to be better. And just by talking to her and seeing her example, I know I CAN be better. I love her. She is the best listener, gives amazing advice, she is so beautiful, perfect example of being Christ-like, and is always a friend. Mars and her family moved to Charleston, SC a year ago and we finally got to see each other! They love Charleston and it is only 3.5 hrs from Charlotte, and only 6 from Tallahassee!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!

We had a fabulous time together. We always joke that when we get together, we always cry. Well...we did a lot of that and a lot of catching up. Stacy, you were definitely in our thoughts! We missed you so much talking about our little "dip" in Lake Washington with Whitney. LOL We need to plan a get-away trip someday with just us 4 and no kids.

Maricela's son, Abel is 18 months and NON-STOP. 7AM-8PM...NON-STOP. I was exhausted just by watching Mars chase after him! He is adorable and such a sweetheart. Here are some highlights from her visit!
