What am I waiting on?  I'm waiting on this girl to come to town!!!

Meet Melissa, my dear, sweet, beautiful, amazing and crazy friend who broke my heart when she and her precious family moved three years ago.  We met across a crowded room (ok, ok, we were at a scout meeting that neither one of us wanted to be at), she locked eyes with me and basically said, "you wanna hang out some time?"  I'm not sure if that's exactly how it went but it's not far off!  I love Melissa for so many reasons - first and foremost, that she reached out to me - cause that's just not my gift.  She loves Jesus and she challenges me to be a better me.  I know it's hard to believe but we only hung out maybe three times before she moved but I thought my world had been turned upside down when she left.  I couldn't believe that God put her in my life but then so quickly moved her away.  But, distance is just two points on a map.  I know that no matter what, this girl will always have my back.

So, what's up with the mustache (I know you're dying to know!)?  Back in the day before Melissa vetoed summer bucket lists, she actually made them!  She told me that one of their bucket lists items was for her family to wear mustaches out to dinner. I looked at her with wide eyes because, I mean, I would NEVER have thought to do that (much less have the guts to do it!).  This was our last dinner before she moved so guess what I showed up wearing to dinner?!  Yep - a mustache!

Had to make sure she got that crossed off her summer bucket list!

So, what grand plans do we have?!  Absolutely nothing - just the way we like it!  I'm sure we'll order take out, wear our pj's, open a bottle of wine, and sit back and watch the Bachelorette - just like old times and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

     

I'm so glad you stopped by!

Thanks for linking up!  Have a blessed day!  Gig 'em and God bless!
