Good friends are so fun!

I started this post a long time ago, but I'm finally getting to it!

In April, I got a call one morning and was surprised to hear a voice I had not heard in over 10 years! A sweet French accent which came from one of my companions on my mission to California--Elodie (Sister David)! She and her husband, Mark, and their two boys were in Myrtle Beach for a vacation and since she knew that we were pretty close by (Just over an hour, for anybody who might want to know;o), she decided to call and see if we could somehow get together and have dinner! Well, I was just so excited and in the mood to do something spontaneous, which is not common for a planned out woman like myself, so I called Josh, who was able to get off early that day and we packed up the girls and headed to their condo on the beach! It was such a fun night--pizza and salad for dinner--and a fun time watching the "kids" (including Mark and Josh) play in the sand and the water! Her son, Adam, is just older than Abby and Antoine is a little older than Phoebe. I don't think we ever would have thought when we were missionary companions that 11 years later, we would be taking pictures together on the beach with our husbands and kids, but there we were! It was really a lot of fun!

PS-Here are a few pics of us from the mission just for fun-haven't changed much, have we? Well, I guess I've gained a few pounds, to say the least!! (Elodie, I hope these pics are good enough for you! She complained to me that evening at the beach that people were putting ugly pictures of her from the mission on Facebook!)
