Play dates

Yesterday we had a wonderful play date at the pool with 4 wonderful women, Stacey, Sheryl, Abby, and English. Between all of us there were 12 kids. All of our husbands work at Anderson University. Stacy's husband is the women's basketball coach, English's husband is the tennis coach, Abby's husband is the Director of Student Activities, and Sheryl's husband works in the Admission's office. We have all been transplanted here in Anderson and I'm the newby. :) We enjoyed each other's company and shared stories about husbands, kids and how we ended up here. It was a day full of fun and laughter.

Today we met back up with English and her little girls, Aly (yrs) and Josie (11 mo). We went to the library for story hour. It was good to see them again. Aly and Anna Claire really enjoy each other's company. :) Aly told her mommy that Anna CLaire is her best friend. Not only am I thankful for God putting women in my life here quickly, but more so Anna Claire's. She has met so many little girl's her age and I love that she has made friends so easily! However she has mentioned several times that she is missing her Ky friends and her cousin Carter as am I! I think about you all everyday! I think of my old house and neighborhood and I miss my daily walks with Jen. I was looking at pictures of our life group the other night and cried. I miss your smiling faces and our outings. It makes me sad to think I haven't even met Avery yet, Aimee's new little one, and I miss Aly B and Ella so much!!! BUT I love the verse in Corinthians that reminds me "to be content whatever the circumstances....I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
I know I will see you all again soon! Thank you for you thoughts and prayers during this time. You all are in my prayers also. I thank God for putting you each in my life.
I could go on and on, but I do not want to bore anyone, so I'll stop here. More to come tomorrow!
