For the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with and learning from these amazing women. We organized a card group with the purpose of giving each of us a creative outlet, and a fun monthly outing to lunch, however, it has turned into much more than that.We've cried and laughed as we've experienced the ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood, marriage, finances, moving away from beloved neighbors, marrying off children, becoming grandmothers, serving in church callings, and a million other things that come with this wonderful life. Most of all we've shared testimony, and strengthened one another in times of need. I love these women (3 are not pictured) and look forward to many more years of learning at their feet.
This particular luncheon was in honor of my good friend Dana Smith, (short blond hair in middle) who will shortly be leaving us to serve with her husband as he presides as the new mission president in the Marshall Islands. They are incredible people!!
I am blessed.
Too bad I was talented enough to join the group!
