This week I want to start something new on Sundays. I’m calling it SUPER SUNDAY!!!! I am going to take Sunday’s to share something that I deem super. It may be a blog that I’ve come across, a person in my life, a picture I’ve taken, a special event, it could even be a sale I have found. The only requirement is that it be super to me. I admit, you may not find the same things super, but I am willing to take the chance. It is my blog!
So, for my first SUPER SUNDAY…I want to share my Super Best Friend, Allison Wells. You can find her blog at www.afewsprinklesshort.blogspot.com. Allison and I met about 8 years ago at the church we both attended. We were at a marriage conference with our fiancés. The four of us (Allison, Marshall, Zach and I) stood out b/c we were the only non- married people at that conference. I would say we became acquaintances at that point. Then in 2004 we got to talking at the door of the church (she was a greeter) and we discovered that we were both trying to conceive and both failing. Over the next few years we became extremely good friends. We shared our struggles and found solace in each other’s pain.
Fortunately God chose to bless us both with children; we became pregnant 5 months apart of each other. Our daughters are now best friends, and not in the sense of the word that we force them together. They truly ask to see each other and love our times together. I cried with her when she got her son through foster placement. All the way through custody battles to the day he was finally adopted. She was there for me when I went through a miscarriage and again when I got pregnant and had my second daughter. We have lived just a few miles apart to over 200 miles apart. Thankfully, God brought us back close together.
Allison has laughed with me, cried with me, yelled with me. She is the most honest with me and truly loves me! I am so thankful for her. She is a truly SUPER person!!!!
