when friends come to town.

Literally every spare second I have right now is being devoted to sorting through our 1,813 vacation pictures from last week. Dispersed through that madness are cries of, "Jared this is IM-possible...LITERALLY, IM-possible" or "seriously... this is ridiculous..." or my personal favorite..."I think I'll just need to make a post of all the flowers... that's the only way."

So that's what's goin on over here..... {part I, II & probably III of vacation blog coming soon!}

In the meantime, thought I'd share a few snapshots of our wonderful 4 days spent with some out of town friends, a wedding, 2 sleepovers, and some bestie time the beginning of this month. Wahoo! Love my bestie. Toni & Jake were here!

Our friends Mark + Kay got married. It was an awesome night, filled with reconnecting, and remembering how simply AWE-some it is when we are all together.

My bestie...

...and she brought a beautiful baby in her tummy!!! So excited for my next trip to Nebraska. :)

Johnson-house had the honor of boarding the groom the night before his big day - Toni & I listened to the 4 guys talk until way too late - not wife approved - but what are you gonna do...)

We love you Mark + Kay! A beautiful covenant was formed that day, and even more beautiful friendships will continue to grow because of it. Be blessed you two!
