Happy Birthday Evelyn!!!!

Today is our sweet friend Evelyn's birthday~~ So we decided we wanted to make a special dinner for her and celebrate her tonight... My parents are in town and my Mom made it all which is alot better than I could ever make:) We had so much fun!! Evelyn and I have been friends for about 6 1/2 years but it sure seems like it has been alot longer than that! She is my friend who I feel like I have known all my life.. We first met in St Louis, Mo at church and we became friends through a home group which was one of the best things that ever happened to us! We have had some great great times together and have made some wonderful memories and we have been through the deepest pain that anyone could go through.. As most of you know she lost her oldest daughter Sarah 5 years ago and that was the hardest thing I have ever been through with a friend!But she is one of those friends who have been there for me and my family for everything happy times, sad times and difficult times.. She is far more than a friend she is like my sister! Well a year to the date after Sarah passed, Gregg lost his job and found one in Texas so they moved and I was heartbroken!! I was just so sad and so was Chuck b/c him and Gregg became very close friends and my boys both cried b/c they loved them like family! I promised her that I would never ever let her be without the support of this friend on the toughest day of her life so that first year I went to Texas and surprised her and spent a few days and realized how far away she was from STL and that just brought the heart ache again... The next year on the date, we were in Texas house hunting.. Chuck got transferred and we were moving to Texas... We could have lived anywhere in the state but I knew that God was bringing us back together..There is only a few friendships like ours in the world and I knew that this was Gods plan.. She is one of the Best friends I have ever had in my life! She is just one of those if shes your friend she always has your back no matter what! she always is there for me, she always helps me in anything I choose to do, she gives me words of wisdom sometimes when I don't want to hear it:)lol!!She is just one who makes my life better and brighter by being in it!! Ev, I love you bunches and I am so happy that God gave me you as my BFF!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxox Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
