Recently I have been thinking a lot about the value of a good friend and what exactly that means. I have had many friends come and go over the past several years as I'm sure most people have. When I think of a true friend I think of my family and the friendships that I have with each of them. I also think of people who have been a part of my life during the greatest of times and the not so great times. I think of a friend as someone who loves me for who I am and not what I have. One of the sweetest friends I have to date is definitely my definition of a true, genuine friend.
I met her a few years ago and since then have grown to love her more and more. We have shared great heart to heart conversations and many laughs over the past few years. This woman is strong and sincere. She is tender hearted and loving. And it just so happens that her husband and my husband share a special friendship as well.
Justin and I love Joe and Michelle McGrew more than they will ever know. Their family has been such a blessing to us over the past few years and with heavy hearts we will soon be seeing them off as they prepare for the next chapter in their lives. God is going to do some amazing things through their family as they journey to St. Louis to plant themselves there for a while.
Publicly, we just want them to know how special they are and how much we love them. I can't wait to see what God does with them! Below are some photos will help make this update a little more special...

Joe, Michelle, Herrison and Kate,
Please never forget how much you are loved. Your friendship to us means more than you will ever know. We are praying for you and we cannot wait to see what this upcoming journey holds for you.
Love Always,
Justin, Mere and Minnie
