Today we are going to talk about Amanda's her name is Shirley! Shirley was always the sweetest girl. . . Shirley lived with her Grandpa and Aunt a few minutes down the road. Amanda would hop on her bike and be gone for who knows how long (well I am sure my mom knew). Sometimes the day and sometimes till the next day. Amanda and Shirley were inseparable at least from what I can remember!
Shirley eventually had to move away. The girls kept in touch probably more at first and maybe less as time went on.
I didn't speak with Shirley ever really after she moved I think until we were reconnected with first myspace and now facebook. It is great!
This weekend she came up to Edmond with her husband and two son's Dante and Lucas (who are just adorable!). It was so awesome to reconnect with her and have an afternoon/evening just chatting with a wonderful lady and friend! I know we are going to keep meeting . . .we already discussed meeting in the arbuckles soon this spring. When Anthony and I take the kids to a Rangers game we will have to meet up then also!
Great times you can not beat old life long friends!

Speaking of old life long friends. . .A friend I have known since I was born (in fact our mom's were best friends since 3rd grade!) just had her son after a very complicated pregnancy. She was only 27 weeks pregnant when they had to take him. Please keep them in your prayers. I won't post details as she is a very private person and I know she wouldn't appreciate it. But please just ask God to bless baby B I have no doubt He will know who you are talking about. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. My heart just aches for my friend, her husband, that precious 2 lb 9 oz baby and all of the family and friends who love him so very much! He is so very special and I can not wait to see what the Lord has in store for this little boy!
