On Friday, June 26th, we got together with our good friends, the Roots, who were visiting from Wisconsin. The Greens were able to join us, too, so we all met at Best Ln Park for lunch and playtime. Here's a little background on our friendship: Amy and Terra were next-door neighbors growing up and have been friends since elementary school. I met them both at youth group when my family moved to Eugene in '89 and we quickly became inseparable friends. (It's funny to think that ten years later I married Amy's brother) (: We hung out non-stop in middle school and remained friends through high school and into adulthood. I love that we are still close friends to this day and we get to watch our kids grow up together. Since Terra and her family live in Wisconsin we don't get to see them very often, but when we do it's like no time has passed. We had such a fun visit with them! Ronan still asks about their kids and even wanted to invite them to his birthday party. (: We hope that someday the Root family will move back to the west coast! (:

I borrowed this picture from Amy's blog--this was the closest we got to a group shot. (:Amy, Emma, Ethan, Jon, Macey, Kylee, Ronan, Colson, Kaden, Terra, Griffin, me, and Jim

What a fun time that was! I can't believe it's been 2 decades already! So many memories, especially from those early days. :O) I am grateful that we are able to continue our friendship and connect whenever we get back to Oregon - we'd be happy if God were to take us back there for good too!! Love you!
