My high school friends and I stay in close touch and have since high school. Each week we email check-ins with things we're thankful for, prayer requests, and stories from the week. It has been a great way to stay in touch.
After high school, we all went separate ways, more or less:
Rebecca (Marcus) Brown went to Hope College
Stephanie Westrate went to Western Michigan University
Melanie Haveman, Julie (Koning) Phillips, Rebecca Geerlings, and Bethany Keeley-Jonker went to Calvin College
I went to the University of Michigan and then Iowa State (once I saw the light ;))
Let's just say, I wanted to get out of West Michigan and all my friends stayed in West Michigan.
Then I came back... and everyone else left for Florida, Colorado, Chicago, Georgia, Detroit, Iowa, etc. (some have moved more than once).
It is always fun when they come home and I get to spend time with them. This summer Rebecca Geerlings came over for dinner on her birthday!
Here are her birthday cupcakes!
She could not get this candle blown out from laughing so hard!
Lucy got dressed up for the celebration:
I feel so loved! :) Thanks again for the b-day dinner!
