One last getaway....for now

When Michael and I were first married we lived in Dodge City Kansas while he worked as a Police Officer. It was my first time living away from home(2 hours away, doesn't seem far at all now) and Michael worked nights so I was home alone a LOT in the evenings. I started to get so homesick. I remember praying to heavenly father about it and then...... he sent me eve. She was exactly what I needed. Her husband ( Mr. O)was going to the Police Academy during the week so she was alone all week long. However homesick I got, I imagine it would of had to be 10x worse for her, but she never complained. We had good times in Dodge, we never lived more than a block away from eachother and were together every weekend, I could never get tired of eve and Mr. O.



Well now 6 years have gone by since eve and I met and I still have so much fun just being around her. Our families have grown with her having 2 boys and me with my 2 girls. This last weekend we all went up the canyon and went camping over night together, I was so impressed with her due to the fact that she is 9 months pregnant!




The kids had plenty of room for exploring






Miles picked a flower for emry, aaawww, so sweet!



My favorite picture, our men with our kids

So awesome that you are still good friends. I remember being grateful for Nick and Eve too. I was so glad you had someone in Dodge who understood what it meant to be away from home.

That picture of Miles and Emry is too cute. I hope they go on a date together when they're 16 and you can show them that picture. :) I'm glad you have such a great friend like Eve and she is just as lucky to have you.
