Come on down, I hear your birthday is coming right up. I am so enjoying the birthday blog and if you are reading this and have a birthday (I bet you do) send it to me and I will try and blog about you.
Terri Chase, this is for you. You sat in front of us most weeks at church. Or we sat behind you depending on how you look at things. You sat with Amanda, and Bruce would join eventually after his welcoming duties. Sabrina was usually volunteering with other kids. Bruce always welcomed us upon arrival too. One time we sat in your seats and you jokingly asked why? We laughed. Church seating is open, but we always sit in the same place and feel off put if someone sits in our row. We have tried out several churches and we always find a place to sit that we somehow find as our own, and we become annoyed when others claim it. What is up with that?
Our girls attend youth group together. We think the world of Sabrina. Amanda is great too, but we really didn't get to know her before she left for school. Sabrina is amazing and has become so beautiful over the last year. I know she has given you issues (hello don't they all??), but I am convinced she is a wonderful young lady in her own right.
A memory that comes to mind is when we had to meet at the church office over an incident that occurred with the kids. That kind of stuff happens rarely because we have good kids, but it was no fun. Thankfully we are within a group of wonderful, realistic, understanding parents who get that their kids will make mistakes…and we can talk openly without judgment. We had some laughs too.
Donald always enjoyed his interactions with you in the course of work. He says you have been very busy lately but I am sure you caught up at the party this weekend. You were always so welcoming at church every week and embraced us and our children unconditionally.
Have a wonderful birthday and enjoy the tater salad recipe too!
