The Joy of Old Friends

Over this past weekend we had a going away party for some very dear friends of ours.  Mike and Rima are getting out of New Jersey (insert jealousy here) and moving to Texas!  We are so happy for them, but will miss them greatly!  Our Hartwick College get together won't be the same without them!

A large group of our closest friends (all from college) moved down to New Jersey years ago.  I am from NJ so naturally I ended up back in this state after graduating from University of Wisconsin-Madison.  We live relatively close to each other and always get to make happy memories together.  Our friends Ryan and Kelly hosted the party at their house and all our friends and their adorable little ones came.  We had such a great time being all together again and enjoying all the adorable additions to our Hartwick family!  Pretty soon there will be a few more!!!!

Being together with all our family of friends made me realize how blessed AJ and I are to have a support system so unbreakably strong.  Each and everyone of the people there have had a part in bringing our children home and for that we cannot be more humble and grateful.  A "thank you" could never sufice, but we are forever thankful for who each and everyone of them and their love!   Our hearts are so full with joy!  We love them so much and we cherish their  children like our own. 

I pray everyone who reads this gets to experience the amazing love and friendship we have in our Hartwick family. We love you guys!!!!




 God is Good and we are BLESSED!!!




Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.  

Proverbs 17:17
