Isom Adventures: May 2012

Today my mind keeps thinking, "they have actually left". The Bowen family has actually moved now. I am sad when I think of it, but not down. When Michelle had first informed me of Billy getting a job and making San Antonio a final destination for them to live it hurt so much. My heart was heavy for a few days, until one morning as I was fixing my breakfast and began to cry, I simply whispered, "God if this is your will for them please give me a peace about it", and that is exactly what He did. From that moment on I have been dealing with my friend leaving very well. We both moved to Wichita Falls about 6 years ago within a 6 month period, and became really good friends about 5 years ago along with our girls, Abigail & Breann.

We have shared so much over the last few years. Just as our speaker stated at our Life Tabernacle ladies tea, "there is just something special when your moms are friends", this is so true! Michelle and I have shared so much, and she has truly been there for me at all times. Michelle truly is one of the sweetest ladies I know. She is so kind and always giving in some way. She's the friend I'd sit and talk about anything with. We shared good deals, good products, shopping trips, blessings and trials, better ways to be good mothers and good wives, ways we should get closer to God, and so much more. Michelle is one when we talked she stated the good in others no matter what. Her sweet spirit has truly helped me change some things about myself over the years, and I will be ever grateful for that.

We have been happy for each other in the good times and blessings from God. Even at this time I am happy for my friend. I'm excited for her and the house they bought and how God worked everything out for them. I can't wait to here of how God uses them in their family and new church in San Antonio. I know they are going to be such a blessing to people there, and that is just a wonderful thing! Breann and I are both looking forward to girl trips in the years to come, and what special bonding moments that will be for me and my daughter as well. Abigail and Breann will most likely spend a week here or there every summer, just as Austin and Haiden have done the past 6 years we have lived here. So no matter the situation now I know there are good times ahead of us!

Last week we went out to eat taking Abigail and Breann, and they just loved it! I got the girls matching purses.
