Friends

We finished our summer road trip with a stop at the Brewer Bed and Breakfast in Nampa, Idaho. I love this place and would actually move here, except it is pretty stinky with a sugar snap pea plant and meat packing plant. The night we arrived there were six adults and eleven children sleeping under one roof. I wish the Russo clan could have stayed one more day so we could get a little more time with them before they move to Virginia. While they were trying leave the chaos and head back to Nevada, all of the children climbed into their Excursion. I was totally ok with it, I would love some adult time with my Shontell & Mike, but Jenn & Mark weren't that hip on the idea!

Remember this picture was taken at a very early hour of the morning, after I had about six hours of sleep. I cherish these two women, more than they could ever imagine. I have know them for ten years and we have raised children together. They were there for my through so many difficult and joyous times and now both of them will live too far away from me. Good thing they will open their homes to our family in the blink of an eye. I know that whenever I text or call them, they will make me laugh and smile for quite some time after. I love my girlfriends.

Shontell and I were trying to have a nice photo taken before the Hauguel clan finished our road trip home, and Izzy Rose kept jumping into our picture. I love her, she is an amazing young lady with a heart of gold. I love that she is in this picture and I pray I can raise my daughter as well as Shontell has raise Isabelle.

Not sure what Mo is laughing about in this picture, maybe he had too many mugs of coffee? Mo could speak volumes about his friend Michael Brewer. He would have taken me home to Las Vegas, turned around and driven 12 hours back up to Idaho to hang out with him and his amazing family. They have a very manly relationship that involves fishing, hunting, camping and at one time jeeping. Oh and these two Godly men are very fortunate to have the most understanding and flexible wives around. ;)

The Brewer family is just one of many that we call our FAMILY, not just friends. We say we are going to start a commune, I do hope it happens sooner than later...
