Abby met up with her friend Sarah at the Mother Ship this morning. 

They arrived as I was getting ready to head out, but I stuck around long enough to iron out issues they were both having with the app. As I was walking toward the door, I stopped to take this pic because I thought they both looked so cute.

Although they only became good friends in high school, these two first met way back when they were two years old. They and their little brothers --in Abby's case, Logan-- were in the same playgroup, so we have a handful of photos of them together when they were very young.

And now, many years later, they're both wonderful young women who are on the cusp of finishing college and beginning teaching careers. I know Abby adores Sarah and I know they're strikingly alike in numerous ways, so I'm grateful that they re-discovered one another and chose to stay in touch. Good friends are special blessings from God, and I'm thankful my girl has one in Sarah.
