This was way out of my comfort zone and took me a while to come up with my plan, but I am so happy with the result! It was so fun.
Journalling: I met Laura back in 2001. I believe this was the year that she started to date our friend John Smid. We became fast friends and our group of friends did lots together through the years, like cottage getaways, dinner parties, bike shows, and more. Once we were both married, we would often visit John and Laura in Milton. One day though, we got the news that they were moving to Pennsylvania because of a new job. We were sad to say good-bye, but happy that they were only three hours away. We managed to fit in more visits in Pennsylvania, even after we started having kids, and sometimes John and Laura would be around for a New Years eve party, or for a quick visit after a birth of a baby. In 2009, their family even joined ours and Brian and Alanna at the cottage for a week. A few years later, we heard that John's work was now taking them to Texas. Thankfully Laura joined Facebook then and we stayed in contact that way. In October of 2016, I got a call from Laura that they were looking to move back to the area, and to send their kids to Hope RCS with our kids. I was beyond excited! I am so thankful to have them back in Ontario, and living less than 10 minutes from our house! I'm so thankful for Laura, and her friendship. She has really been there for me as someone to talk to, and someone who looks out for me and my well being and I'm blessed to call her my friend.
