This is my friend Erin, she is one of my favorite people. We met up in PV and when she moved into the ward I was called to be her visiting teacher. At that time I was serving as a counselor in the RS Presidency and she was called to be a RS teacher. Between visiting with her each month and working with her and the other teachers in RS a friendship began to develop. Talking with Erin was instantly easy for me, I connected to her quickly. I loved her love of the written word like mine, I loved her love of the gospel and everytime we were together we would always end up laughing and smiling the whole time.
My friendship with Erin has continued to be this way. She is more like a sister to me than a friend. We have cried together, had spiritual discussions, shared our dreams and laughed together. We have now know each other for about three years and when we moved to the valley I worried that we would drift apart. However it is just not like that with Erin, as soon as we are together whether it has been two months or six it is comfortable right away. To make it even more special she has a wonderful husband who is such a nice person that we also love. It is rare to find a couple that you both get a long with the husband and the wife. The icing on the cake is that they have three sweet kids that get along great with our kids. The kids love each other and play together so well, we love their kids and they love ours and it is always comfortable and fun to be together. Since we have moved away we only see each other every three to six months. However when we do see each other we are so excited we hardly close our eyes to rest when we are there. Every time we get together we never see our beds until at least 5am. Then we will take shifts with the kids in the morning, run hard all day and then stay up playing games and visiting until the early morning hours again the next night. We headed up to Prescott for the 4th since there is always a lot of fun things going on up there. The kids just had a blast playing with each other and running around the backyard together finding all sorts of creatures (like this cute little snail that Hunter found) and playing. They enjoyed some water play and some imaginative play.
We played games, ate all weekend, visited, went to see fireworks, visited, played more games and had so much fun.
