Cali Part 1

So as we ventured off to Cali, we were blessed enought to be able to stop and stay in Phoenix to spend some time with some amazing people. First off, I was able to vist and stay with one of my best friends from college and sorority, Randi and her family. It was so awesome to see her in person and be able to give her a HUGE hug. I have missed her terribly and sometimes our frequent phone calls leave alot to be desired. Randi's little girl Ryann and Gavin hit it off and of course were BFF within minutes.
We also were able to meet up with our friends the LaFlamme's. Kelly and I went to high school together and got re-connected over the internet and our friendship has blossomed from there. Both of our children face challenges in regards to their health and to make a LOOOOONG story short, both her daughter Kylie and Elijah have Mitochondrial Disease. Who would have thought that we would have reconnected after all these years and to have such a unique connection. Her family and her friendship is and has been a huge blessing not only to me but to my family.
Overall, I left Phoenix feeling like a lucky girl to have two such amazing girls in my life that are more like family than friends. Love you Owsley's and LaFlamme's!!
