Friends,

Blustery weather, a sick fiance, and patience running on empty had me feeling a bit ho hum on Saturday afternoon. A short nap and an evening out cured me of my momentary doldrums. During the "girls night out" I was reminded of my great blessing of friendship. Many times during the dinner I looked down the table and stopped in amazement by the beautiful lives around me. And amazement at how much we could talk! It must be God that brought us all together, because I don't believe any of us anticipated our lives crossing in such a beautiful way...here in Peoria!

Have a great week.

Friends,

After a weekend of wedding planning (dress shopping, suit shopping, catering shopping), it was sweet to have dinner with Jeff and chat about our future after the wedding. We made a fire at his house and put our feet up to relax. Thank goodness for Valentine's day...and dark chocolate too!

Have a great week,
Jada

Friends,
Jeff and I had a great relaxing long weekend in Indiana visiting family. On Sunday afternoon, we arrived in Illinois for an 80th Birthday party for his father. The John Hoerr family met for an evening meal, cake, gifts, and lots of laughs. It was a happy celebration and a great way to end the weekend. I enjoyed the rich blessings of family this week.
