We miss people! We, and also our peeps, all have somewhat crazy lives going on right now which reduces our hangout time :) As you know, skip and I (well, mainly me) are not the types to be ok with no social interaction. We truly need that connection with people to survive in this crazy life. With isolation from people you miss so much in life:
-having people to call you out! - accountability
-growth in Christ together and challenging you to be more like Him
-the bond you feel from serving and ministering together
-having a feeling of comfort with people. Meaning, they comfort you when you are stressed or upset, but also that you feel comfortable scrounging through their fridge for food without asking.
-having someone to just sit on the couch and say nothing with
-having someone who is ok with crying with you during life’s hardest moments, but also understands why you are tearing up at So You Think You Can Dance.
-having people to laugh so hard with that you can’t breathe
-having people that amazingly enough still want to be around you after getting to truly, and I mean, truly know you!
-having people that will forgive you completely and not just bring it up again later
-having people that you learn from and are amazed by. Real-life Heroes.
-having girl time! / guy time!
-having people to tell secrets to and know they are safe.
-having people you trust. completely. with your inner self, and that they would come pick you up if your car broke down at 2am without a question asked.
-having people that know your thoughts and heart and you are genuine and authentic with.
-having people to encourage you
These qualities are so rare, and true friendships are also rare, like jewels. It takes effort and time to build them and effort and time to maintain them...If you have even one friend like this you are beyond blessed. We are blessed enough to have several “jewels” in our life…We have been a little separated from them lately and are missing them desperately! So, thank you to all our “jewels” for allowing us to live life with you and for giving us this most precious gift of truly knowing you! We love you all more than you know!

I hope i fall in there somewhere! :O) i miss getting to see you! actually i don't get to see anyone anymore--not working and all...i pretty much stay in the house all day everyday, unless i have a dr appt or have to grocery shop! gas is soooo expensive, and "torrey" (Cash's suv!) only gets 22 mpg! most of my friends live in different cities, i'm sure you relate to this. my friends i'd love to hang with are at the closest 45 min (that would be YOU). to totally change the subject now, i saw the mini-video for "now or never" from HSM3 and tear up watching that! can't wait for Oct 24! oh, and the soundtrack comes out Oct 21...gotta learn the new songs!
Love y'all. Know that you are missed as well.
Wow, I was crying during So You think You Can Dance too! I miss seeing you and we never got our lunch! I'm calling you! I miss you! At a minimum I will see you Thursday! Love you girl!
Miss & love y'all too!
