Our best friends The Ennis Family came to visit over labor day and we had the best time! They truly are like family to us.. We go way back to St Louis.. We met in 1999 when we both lived in St Louis, we were neighbors and when we met we hit it off immediately!! Michele is truly truly the sister that God did not give me.. We are so much a like but oh so different..I can tell her anything and it does not shock her one bit.. Our husbands are the best of friends as well and have such a great time when they are together.. Our kids are like cousins, I think they seriously think they are.. So needless to say when we are together we have the best time.. All of us do!! They moved back to Arkansas 7 yrs ago and I thought I would die when she told us they were moving,oh what was I gonna do without her.. She was the friend who was there for everything, the friend who was there to hold my hand and cry with me, the one who encouraged me and prayed with me during the hardest days of my life!! The one who laughed with me and at me, the one who my children thought was their other Mother!:) She means so much to me and I can not imagine my life without her in it.. I am so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross back in 1999 and has continued to bless and grow our friendship..It is very very rare to have this kind of friendship and I just wish everyone could have a friend like her..Her husband Terry is one of the sweetest guys I know and is so much fun, we have shared many many laughs and have are own personal inside jokes) Seriously, how many relationships do you have that your whole family love each other and have great connections!! We had the best time,while the girls shopped shopped shopped, looked at houses, talked, laughed and just had the best time, the guys rode 4 wheelers, went to the shooting range, played basketball and hung out at the pool and then all hooked up for dinner it just seemed to good to be true...We celebrated Terry's bday while he was here and had so much fun, one night we went out for Mexican where they sang to him in Spanish and slapped him the face with whipped cream,needless to say out table was full of screams and laughter...The next night we had a pool party, lit the tiki torches and just had a blast... We just love their family so much, it just stinks that we are so far away from each other and cant get together very often.. Maybe one day God will see it to it that we can be neighbors again, that would just be the perfect plan for me!! Love y'all and cant wait til the next time we are all together!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoox
