(My hair after the new cut...not so "Farrah like" anymore since I washed and dried it myself. BTW, my hair is naturally straight but my favorite hairdresser used a big barrel curling iron on it after she cut it. Too bad I don't have a picture of her "work." And when I dug out the old curling iron to give it a go, I burned my thumb!)
Our friends...minus their oldest son who is a college boy.
Brian and Cathy met at our alma mater, Lee University. Their first date was at my wedding. Brian was my dad's youth pastor several years ago. Cathy was my dad's secretary. They are "family." We have STORIES!!! They are in full time ministry and Cathy is a school teacher.
One of my new "favorite people"
See the big 'ol lollipop? Reminds me of another wonderful boy.

Aren't bestest friends just the best! You and your dear friend look a lot alike. I had to study the picture for a minute to see which one was you.
ReplyDeleteI bet your hair looks great! I love to go to the beauty shop and get my hair done. I would go once a week if I could afford it. Just love a fresh new cut.
I just read your previous post and my heart feels tight. I know that had to be hard going through sweet boys stuff. I am continually praying for you and your sweet family.
Have a blessed Easter.
Hugs,
Tara
Oh my goodness, I had Farrah hair too, I also had polyester bell bottoms, and (shhhh) I used to smoke (with my best friend)! Also, I've now transitioned to one of the Golden Girls. Gone are the trusses, the cigarettes, the bell bottoms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure it is to have a history with someone that's endured the decades to remain a true friend. No doubt your shared laughter or tears is especially dear.
Blessings this Easter weekend, and always,
Kathleen
Oh there is really nothing quite like a life long friend who has traveled the roads with you. I too have a couple I have had since I was 9 years old...(just a few moons ago, haha) I think your hair looks great. It never does look quite like it does when we leave the shop huh? lol I tried as well a couple of days ago to work the old curling iron (beings how big curls are back and all) and what a disaster...haha...I think I will stick to the flatiron. Have a wonderfully blessed Easter Melanie. Praying for you all. Hugs, Debbie

ReplyDeleteHey Melanie,
ReplyDeleteYou cute thing! Glad you had time with friends. The weather looks great. Thought of you during the church service today. Prayed for all of you. Wondering what all of us(Christians) will do after Easter? We have news to share. Blessings, B
I think I still have Farrah hair. Or more like Jaclyn Smith. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Easter and visit with your friend. I know you missed Andrew. With every breath.
I watched Avery & his friend on Youtube. He is amazing.
Glad you had a wonderful time with your dear friend. How special to still be in contact. The pictures were beautiful and your hair looks great! What a blessing to have them with you at Easter.
ReplyDeleteOh! My husband and I also met at Lee University in Cleveland, TN. Is that the same as where you attended? If so, what a small world!
Blessings to you and your family!
Love seeing your smiles! Praising God for your family and friends.
ReplyDeleteMelanie:
