One of my greatest blessings in life is my sweet family– including friends that are like family. Theresa, Randy, and Sally are the latter. Theresa has been one of my dearest friends for what seems like forever, even though we’ve only been close for a few years now. Her greatest loves, Randy and Sally, became dear to my heart as well, and I’m so grateful for the friendship and bond that Mike and I share with them.

We had the Robertsons over for dinner not long ago, which was exactly what I needed after a rough few weeks. It was our first dinner outside on the patio (thank you, Springtime!) and sharing it with them was such a blast! Sweet Sally was the star of the show as usual, and I wouldn’t have it any other way– I love that sweet nugget so much. She lights up any room (or patio) and is such a ham in front of the camera. Seriously!

So often we’re caught up in and bombarded by life and work and this and that, that it seems like we don’t see our friends as much as we’d like (at least, I know that’s how I feel), so this was such a great opportunity for us to enjoy a good meal together and catch up. I think that’s one of the greatest things about close friends– even if you haven’t spoken in weeks, you can pick up right where you left off. I’m so thankful for friends like the Robertsons!

That face on the right is Sally’s “wink”.
