Our small group is breaking up - one of our couples is moving back to her hometown, another is going to Africa on a mission trip, two of our couples have moved down south, one of the hubbys is going back for his masters, and the timing hasn't worked great for our schedule the last few months so we haven't been. So we're all going our separate ways for the most part right now.
We've had an amazing year and a half together though and celebrated that Sunday afternoon with a fun fajita grill at one of the couples pool. Her husband grilled fajita meat and we all brought chips, guac, tortillas, salsa, rice, and beans. We got there and the boys jumped in the pool right away while the hostess was worried that it was going to rain. Her and one of the other hubbys had a wager of five bucks going on as to if it would start pouring or not. The lightning and thunder started, the rain followed soon after, and she won.
We all huddled underneath the overhang outside of the gym and Shawn and I dashed inside at one point when the lightning got a little too close and the hostess and I started freaking out which of course got Shawners to freaking out. We stayed inside until I convinced him the lightning had moved on. It was hilarious, us all sitting on the ground with our beach towels laid out in front of the gym. We sat there for about half an hour and had a blast talking and chatting.
When the rain let up a little all fourteen of us moved up to their tiny one bedroom apartment and laughed and talked. We put the boys in a room with Over The Hedge and somehow we ended up in three groups of four and were all talking and laughing, trying homemade beer, and eating goodbye cake.
Two of the couples in our group. This was us huddled underneath the gym building overhang.
The boys still persistently hanging out by the bbq... until the lightning got real close.
The girls (and the boys : )... still huddled underneath the overhang. I LOVE this picture!
Indeed we will, good friends, small group hosts, Shawn's special friend,
and Justin's would've been 3rd grade math teacher!
Drying off at the apartment after our mad dash to shelter
Our whole group less one wonderful couple. The frame hanging on the wall behind us has the word faith written on it. So appropriate for where we are all at right now!
