San Antonio...

Life with four kids can get crazy.

Lots of activities...church events...sports...commitments...jobs...ministry life...go into each of our daily lives.

Which doesn't leave much time to invest in friendships.

Thankfully...God has blessed us with some VERY intentional friends.

These dear friends called us up and invited us to come and spend a weekend away with them in San Antonio.

And we said YES!!!

We had such a good time walking along the river walk...talking...catching up...

...eating...laughing...and just having fun together!

Even though we don't get to see each other very often...it was as if no time had passed at all.

We were quickly moving from "catching up" to heart talks...sharing what God had been laying on our hearts...praying over future decisions...marveling in the provisions He has made in each of our lives...and sharing the burdens each other were carrying.

There were moments of serious talks...and of course...

times of just being silly.

We checked out the Gunther House for breakfast and Steel City Pops for dessert...

we walked and walked and walked some more.

We popped into bookstores and explored the Alamo.

We ate as much Mexican food as we could!!

But mostly...we just filled our cups to the brim of love and laughter.

Storing away memories in our hearts as treasures.

Jason had one request before we left Texas...

a quick stop into Whataburger!!!

We ended our weekend soaking up hugs and love from each of the precious Richardson kiddos.

It was an incredible weekend.

We are blessed in our friendships...and feel thoroughly sharpened by each other after this weekend!
