Macdonalds

"A friend is one who knows ALL about you and loves you still the same"

Yep that's exactly how I felt when I met the Macdonald family at my apartment. 24 hours earlier the girls and I had set off for home in our car. We made it to Winnemucca and stayed in the Holiday Inn Express. After a quick morning swim and decadent breakfast we drove straight through the day to Sunnyvale in order to visit for a brief hour with such great friends. Needless to say we were less than presentable, may have even smelled a bit sour, and I had no idea what condition my home was in(I hadn't been in it for 3 weeks). Thankfully Dave and Liz were awesome as usual. They supplied pizzas for dinner and treats for afterward. The kids had a great time bouncing, exploring, and catching up. You guys made our day!!! I guess it's our turn to come see you guys...

The sweet hotel suite we ended up with by chance:

Greetings from some of the coolest people on earth:

Oh my gosh - how fun!!! What the heck? I'm so confused - how are the Macdonalds on the other side of the country??? Isn't it amazing that we find ways to still get together? We might be driving to Georgia to go see the Carters in a few weekends. I'm glad you will be in Utah soon - it will be easy to see you. I love your house! It reminds me a little of our Maryland house. I love the floors. I can't wait to see it for reals.

WHAT? I am so confused. I tried calling you and you were in Utah, are you in Utah or CA? That is so fun you got to see the MacDonalds. HOw fun. They sure do get around huh? :)

I'm glad you had a fun trip and made it safely back to California. Nate was a little lost at church without his girls :).
I love your new home! I love the paint colors and the hardwood floors and the beautiful backyard. It is simply lovely.

We are all back in CA, but only for a few more weeks. Closing took a bit longer than anticipated and on top of that we had one wedding, a sealing, one farewell, and only one major surgery to attend and assist during our 3 week stay. You called after Nate had returned home (he was only gone for 4 days) but the girls and I were still in Utah. Crazy trip but well worth the extra efforts.

And the MacDonalds were attending a family reunion nearby.

Nice glasses and cheese picture. :) That was seriously so fun. It was painful to leave. As you may remember, I love just chilling at your casa and being somewhat lazy sitting on that sweet comfy couch. Thanks for making that SA-WEET hour possible!!!!
