This afternoon, the kiddos and I enjoyed a play date with some of the children in Brady's preschool class. After everyone else had left, only my friend Jamie and I and our respective broods remained.

I first met Jamie when her first-born, Reece, and Abby were in the same pre-K class back in 2008. Though we've been in and out of contact since then, I'm so glad that I can call her my good friend. She's honest and isn't afraid to be vulnerable. She's also an amazing encourager, and she's definitely someone who God uses to show me that He cares.

I'm glad she's part of my life and that we can watch our kids be crazy together.
