When I moved to Dayton, I was just starting sixth grade. My new experiences didn’t go very well at my new school. I went from being the president of my student council to “Can anyone… anyone… let me sit at your lunch table please…Â maybe if I beg?”
On the other hand, I made some good friends at my church. During that painfully awkward year, Sarah became a good friend and we’ve been able to stay close. We’ve had so many long conversations about husbands & children before either of those things were a reality for us. There were years of wonderful, innocent memories made enjoying life {even though we always longed to be “adults”}. Our sons were born on each other’s due date, two years apart. We always look forward to their birthday month & discuss how quickly they are growing. Her family is beautiful & she is blessed with two good “mans” {as my son would call them}. These were taken in the ripeness of fall and I hope they do her favorite season justice. I wanted most of them to remain colorful, because there is such a short time when the colors are naturally this amazing.
Her Shiba Inu, Cider, is so adorable! I love when pets can make a cameo in family pictures, especially one as photogenic as hers :]
I love you Sarah Ann… I’m so glad you are part of my life.
