so fun.

I am so glad I got to hang out with Marci and her family just before I left Utah.  She is my dearest friend from college and she always makes me laugh.  We end up being so silly together...and if you saw our '80s pictures from college you would totally know why we spend most of our time laughing at ourselves.  (Marci wouldn't let me steal them away from her to post here on my blog...)

We had fun watching the kids work it with their skills on the trampoline, tumbling, basketball, and some awesome footwork with the soccer ball.  Marci has really made her home a sweet haven for her family.  They love to hang out at home and to hear Marci talk about the memories she has sitting and talking with close friends and special people it would make you want to live at her house, too. 

We mostly hung out at home having fun and then took a little walk down a path to a bridge that is special to their family for a number of reasons.

I love any chance that I get to be with Marci.  She's been through a lot.  I always hope that I'll be a great friend who will say all the perfect things to give her strength but, inevitably, I walk away from my conversations with her feeling like she has said the perfect things to me to give me perspective and strength and filled me with the love of a sweet friend.  

Here's to another 15 years (at least) of friendship...your family...

and laughing again...

sweet. LIFE.
