Hey Friends,
Thank you for joining me today! It always makes me happy that my friends decide to spend part of their day with me.
Yesterday was a full day of fun with family and friends! Keep reading, and I will tell you all about it.
Family
We were able to spend a little bit of time with a couple of our family members. It was Presidents' Day, and our schools were out around here. That meant we could meet my Gran and Aunt Kim for lunch.
Here are a few pictures that I captured to remember the moment.
I am so glad that our schedules lined up for this meeting to happen! I love my family and enjoy spending time with them whenever possible! The food was good, but the quality time was even better!
Friends
Later in the afternoon, we went to a party to celebrate a very special friend! Emily Burris Roberts just turned to 30 years old!
Happy birthday, my friend! We love you! I am so proud of you! We have had the privilege of watching you grow up from two years old until today.
It has been a joy! God has had His hand on your life, and you have followed him! I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you!
I have done a lot of thinking the last few days about my friendship with Emily and her family. They are like family to us! It is amazing to have such wonderful people in our lives!
Emily was raised with Godly examples in her life! She has wonderful parents and grandparents. Now she is grown and has a life of her own, that includes a husband, Nathan Roberts!
It has been wonderful to see her continue to serve God! She carries on the family tradition, and the Godly character that was passed down to her! Emily is a caring, loving and friendly person. The Bible says to have friends you must show yourself friendly. Emily has lived out that verse.
She is a friend too many people! Yesterday was just a small example of the friends that wanted to celebrate her milestone in life!
I am honored to be in her circle of friends! Looking back over the 28 years that I have known Emily, here is a little something that came to mind.
Life started for Elsie Emily Burris in February 1995. She was an excellent girl from the beginning. As a young lady, she lived an exceptional life, devoted to God! 30 years into life, Elsie Emily Roberts, is an elegant lady! Most of all she is great example of a christian full of character.
I will close with the pictures from Emily's party. It was an exquisite event, celebrating my wonderful friend! Everyone that had a part in making the party a success did a phenomenal job! I was so glad to attend this celebration!
Odie
