Shell My Bell

Soon after Christmas my best friend Michelle flew in from California to spend some time with us. I cant tell you the anticipation that led up to her arrival. It has been a homesick and challenging few months and to be able to see her in person and have her give me a big hug in the reassuring way that she does meant the world to me. Gavin was so excited to see her he about took her down to the ground when he leaped into her arms at the airport. He misses his Auntie Shell just as much as I do. Although he talks to her and Uncle Andrew on the phone every other day, its so wonderful to be able to have that piece of home in the flesh.
We had a great trip and got to spend some great time together and she was able to get her Gavin and Elijah fix. It meant alot to me to have her come here and the goodbye was bitter sweet. I cried, Gavin cried and poor Mike didn't know who to console first! LOL! Saying goodbye to a piece of home is never easy. I can only rest assure that I will see her soon! (sooner than I thought cause I get to go home in Feb) Wahooooo!
Thank you Michelle for coming. For giving of your time and money and friendship. You always lead me back around to a point of being ok even when everything around me is in disarray and fearful. God has blessed me with our very special friendship and to be able to be apart of your life for the past 14years. I love you Michelle-My-Bell! Daphnes, Del Taco and Renaissance here we come!
