Barb and I met by chance. She lived two doors down from us in Illinois. She had sent a letter to our house but it was addressed to someone else. When I realized it was sent from two doors down, I decided to walk over and introduce ourselves to let them know we received the letter and the addressee must have moved. Thankfully that letter was sent to our house because a beautiful friendship has blossomed over the years.
I was apart of a mom's group in Illinois and met some cute girls but none of my friendships compared to Barb's. I am so lucky to have met such a sweet spirited person by chance. She has given me so much wisdom, encouragement and hope these past two years. I feel so blessed to know her.
Benton went back to Illinois a month ago and was able to visit with Barb and her husband Chuck. Benton said he didn't know two nicer people. I agree completely. Next time Benton goes back for work, the girls and I are going to join him so we can visit with Barb and Chuck. I can't wait!
Here's a picture of us before we moved away. Cambree was only 1 years old at the time.
These are the books we received. I LOVE them all. I especially was fond of the book "My Book about Me" because I had the same book growing up and I was giddy looking through my book and excited for Cambree to have the same one. Benton just stared at me because I was so excited. So it was the perfect gift!
Thanks Barb & Chuck! Much love to you both!
