It's been awhile since I've posted a new blog. I've been extremely busy and actually now I'm sick. I think I pushed myself too hard.
Last weekend, I had the privilege of being involved in my best friend, Carla's, wedding and baby shower. She married a wonderful man, Patrick, from Germany. His family was such a delight to meet. I loved them all. I am saving my pennies to fly to Germany one day to spend time with Carla and Patrick and the Franke family. :)
Carla and Patrick are going to have a son in November. I'm so happy for them. I cry tears of joy everytime I think about it. Carla has been through a lot in the past few years. She deserves to be happy, loved and well cared for.
Cheers, to my new Franke family! You've taught me so much about life and love. May we meet again soon.
Carla, I love and miss you dearly!
Bets, You are so sweet. Thank you for blogging about us and the kind words you expressed mean a lot to me, or rather to us. Patrick and I are trying to get settled back in to life in Munich, our stay in the states was wonderful and I am thankful that we got to see so many family and friends. It was awesome to have you there for the wedding and baby shower and it wouldn't have been the same without you. I am also very grateful for your parents, Mike and Donna.
ReplyDeleteAlthough we just arrived on Thursday, we spent the weekend attending a friend's wedding outside of Munich, and enjoyed getting to know the bride and grooms family and friends. In the German custom, Robert and Melanie had matching bands with engraving on the inside, the quote (translated) was "time goes by, but love remains the same."
I really loved the quote, because it's true that life has so many changes awaiting each of us. The twists and turns, highs and lows and everything in between, and there is one thing that's certain, life can be so uncertain... so treasure your family, be good to your friends, enjoy each day and wake up thanking God for another day to live and to love.
Betsy, I love and miss you dearly as well, I hope we can find a way to get you here soon!
