"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Lauren and I have been best friends since the age of 13. We spent all of our time together in jr. high and high school. Lived together all 4 years at ACU. Got to spend a short time together as married couples living in Abilene. Then she moved to California. As we were packing her and Jarrod up it was all I could do not to cry. My best friend was moving across the US. BUT I knew there would be a day that they would try to move back to Texas and it happened. Little did we know that just 1 1/2 short years later we would be joining them at the same congregation to join them in their ministry.

We always hoped our husbands would get a chance to work together but never thought it actually would happen. When the opportunity presented itself we went for it. We were also thrilled that Lauren was pregnant and our kids would get to be friends also!

Unfortunately we didn't plan it out so they would be the same age like Lauren and I but they are 13 months apart, not to bad!

So here's hoping that Lynlee and Rylee can be blessed to have an amazing friendship like their Mamas do!
