God's Timing is Perfect!

Dear Daddy,

You know God's timing truly is perfect. Friday night he brought an old friend back into my life. (April) In all of my adult life I have only had three best friends. (Tahleigh, Jennie, and Renee') They know everything I have been through and they have helped me through the bad times. I have been praying though to be surrounded by really good girlfriends that I can just hang out with. He answered my prayers. Yesterday I went to Wild River with Katherine and April was there, along with Christi and Jackie. I had a blast. We all talked all afternoon, to the point that I lost track of time and found myself not wanting to leave because I was enjoying the company. Don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying my time with mom and we have become really close. I just want some girlfriends, that I can go out to lunch with an shoot the breeze with. Jennie and I used to just go to Sonic at 10:00 at night, for no reason at all but just to talk and eat ice cream. Renee' and I used to call each other and sit on our porches to talk, because we were too lazy to walk across the street. Tahleigh, well she knows everything about me. We've been friends forever. Anyway, I said all of that to say this - it's good to be back home and be surrounded by friends.

Okay, funny story. Sunday on the way to church the boys wanted Jamie to tell them a story about airplanes. Here is how the story went:

Jamie: Once upon a time a little boy, with his mom and dad were taking animals on an airplane
James: What kind of animals
Thomas: Was I on the airplane Daddy
Jamie: There were pigs, and horses, and cows and yes Thomas you were on the airplane
James: What about me
Jamie: James you were on the airplane too. Okay so, once upon a time James, Thomas and Daddy were on an airplane carrying animals
Thomas: What about mommy
Jamie: And mommy was on the airplane too
Thomas: What can I do
Jamie: Thomas you are in charge of the pigs
James: What about me Daddy
Jamie: You are in charge of the horses
James: No I want to be in charge of the pigs
Thomas: What can Mommy do
Jamie: Okay, Thomas you are in charge of the horses, James you are in charge of the pigs and Mommy is in charge of picking up all the poop
Mommy: Why do I get the gross job
James: Just give Mommy what she wants Daddy
Jamie: Okay, once upon a time James, Thomas, Mommy and Daddy were all on an airplane with horses and pigs and cows and
James: Daddy when you are done telling your story I want to tell you one
Jamie: Just tell me your story cause I don't think Daddy will ever get to finish this one

We tried to do the same thing to James while he told his story, crazy thing is he enjoyed us stopping him. He never once got flustered he just answered our questions.

I guess I should get to work. I love you daddy!

Love,
Jan - Baby girl forever
