Friends become Family

Sunday Josh, Leroy and I spent the day at The Hargroves (our ministers). It was such a nice day to sit and talk and spend time with them. Over the eight years we have lived down here they have become our family. A year ago Josh lived with them during the week for about 6 months because he was working in Chicago (they live over that way). Mrs. Hargrove has given Leroy so many books over the years and he just loves sitting with her and reading them. Mr. Hargrove is so much like my dad (both Texans) that it feels like I am with my dad when I am with him, Mrs. Hargrove is like a another mom to me and I love that.

All though that it was a great day, it was sad too. The Hargroves are moving next year, finally "retiring" off to Ohio to be with their son and his family. I am not ready to let them go. Every time I think about it I get teary. They mean so much to me and my family. I will miss them dearly.

I guess we will just have to go to Ohio and visit :)

Hope you all are having a wonderful day and had a safe Holiday weekend.
