This has been the month for seeing old friends! Not old friends, but friends of old. :) Remember, we saw (some of) the Bethels, and the Spences. This past Monday, we saw the Riddle family!! Brad and Carrie are dear friends of ours from North Carolina. They are a very special family. Brad outranked all the guys at our church (by a LOT), but he made a point to never let that be an issue. He told Brian on one of the first visits to the church, "We are all the same rank in the eyes of God." I'll never forget that, because Brian was very intimidated and Brad put him right at ease. I'll also never forget the first time Carrie invited me over to her house for dinner. I think Brian was deployed, and I was SUPER nervous. I had a toddler, and while Carrie also had toddlers, I just knew that Emily would go in and ruin everything she had. Afterall, they lived in a commander's house!! I could not have been more wrong. I was very at ease in the house. Brad and Carrie, you guys have been good friends and mentors to us over the years. We appreciate your friendship more than you know!!
They are also friends with Tim and Sarah, so they came over to grill out and enjoy a good time!!
