The Walton and The Harding...

Some people are blessed in life to have one friend that they would consider their "best friend" I have been so blessed in my life to have many of those "best friend" kind of friends. When we lived in West Valley I was blessed with TWO of those type of friends. Enter Joni and Sara. You know their type, the ones that make everyone around them feel like they are their best friend. What made it even better was that our husbands were friends too, and we all know how important a THAT is.

If you would have told me eight years ago when we moved into our West Valley house that in eight years I would be living in Chicago suburbia with four kids, I would have literally laughed myself into an oblivion. We loved our time in West Valley and I guess I thought that's how it would always be. It was such a happy time for me I guess it's the way I always wanted it to be. We are so grateful for our time in our cute West Valley home and all the memories we had there.

Soooo...while we were in Utah we got to spend a little time with them. I am embarrassed to say that both Sara and Joni posted about this night like two months ago when it happened, but you know me, I am just slow like that. We haven't been able to see them the last couple of times we have been out there, so it was awesome to catch up, to pick up where we left off. Good times. Amazing friends. Miss you guys!

Sara was kind enough to point out that since we moved to Chitown that she and Joni have each had one additional child and I have had THREE! What can I say, just doing my part to beautify the earth.
