Our kids have some amazing friends here in our hometown. It is really wonderful to be able to invest in these relationships all summer!
As we think ahead to our future, being overseas for years at at time...we try to be very intentional in helping our kids form good friendships. We feel so very blessed that Nathan and I are both from the same small town, so that we can be "stationed" in just one spot all summer! (for the most part, with some traveling thrown in there).
Another huge blessing...we have a lot of good friends at our church, and one awesome thing about these families? They have a LOT of kids! Our kids all have such a great time together, and we just thank the Lord over and over for blessing us with these relationships.
Here's to a very fun-filled (and very busy) summer with friends!

Our kids are so blessed by your kiddos too! My heart aches (selfishly) a little when I think of you and Nathan leaving for years at a time...my tears stream and my heart aches a WHOLE bunch when I think of our kids' friends leaving. We can understand and make sense of it but they will struggle a little more...guess we'll keep working on that for the next year...pouring into their little minds the love for your tribe and for Jesus. :) Love you all and so happy to have you home for the summer!
They do have some amazing friends, and you do too.
That last comment was from me.
