Friends

This is an older picture, I will get pictures from tonight later this coming week.

   We got to spend time with our friends Mr. and Mrs. Jon and Sesi Whaley. Yeah, the Mr. and Mrs. isn't necessary, I just like seeing it. :) They married in September of the past year, and we couldn't have been happier about that. Jon has been Lee's best friend since high school. Actually, that's kind of funny - we all met on the same day, first day of school, 1999. Lee and Jon became friends right away in Spanish class. I was sitting on the other side of Lee (but I was in German class - small school!), but Lee and I didn't start dating until the end of the year. Ahhh, good times. Anyway, Jon and Sesi were married in September, and we love Sesi. She is sweet and strong and very good for Jon. So seeing them is always awesome.

   The kids love Sesi, too, as well as their Uncle Jon. Olivia loves to crawl up in Aunt Sesi's lap. Tonight, Gabriel spent some time in Aunt Sesi's lap, too. He gazed up at her as if in awe. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. It was precious. I can't wait until Sesi gets to hold a little one of her own. I pray that God will bless them with children early. That is a very selfish prayer on my part! But you won't catch me taking it back!

  Jon and Sesi love Nan, too, which makes it extra special. We all met at Nan's house, and shared dinner. Jon had a special present for Nan, a classic bust of Elvis from the 1970s. I have to get a picture of this thing. It was a very thoughtful present. They had presents for the rest of us, too, including Mario shirts for all the kids. That was great!!
