Look what Santa brought us!! Our dear friends, Shane and Lori Holland (and kids) are moving from East TN to Arkansas. We were so excited to be a stop through point last night. Shane was one of my best friends at ACU and I spent lots of time in his family's home in Arlington. He was also a groomsman in our wedding. Lori and Sheryl sang together in Daybreak at ACU, so our friendships run deep on all sides! It was SUCH a blessing to be with them. There just really isn't anything like old friendships. So much history! I remember Shane being such a rock for me when my dad died. I have vivid memories of him standing with me at the burial in Groesbeck, TX. We've been through a lot together and 18 years later, still laugh at the same things and still can pick right back up where we left off.
Here are some pics...
The Holland Family--
Brianna, William, Lori, Shane and Hannah
Sheryl and Lori used to sing in a group together at ACU--Daybreak. I still have one of their tapes! (yes, friends, a cassette. Our kids will think they are hilarious like we do with 8 tracks!)
All the Thomas and Holland kids. They had such a great time playing! (don't you love William's "bling" shirt?!)
Shane and BST
It's great to have friends like that! Happy New Year!
