Just a couple nights ago, Nate and I got to spend the evening with our friends Heather and Brian, and their kids. They fixed us a fabulous dinner - roasted pork loin, seasoned potato wedges, broccoli with a hint of lemon and garlic, french bread, and for dessert, a fruit pavlova! (Can you tell I love food?) If you were like me and have never had a pavlova, let me tell you that you are missing out. I've even included a picture so you can get your taste buds going. It is delicious!
And as awesome as the dinner was that they prepared for us, even more wonderful was the fellowship we all had together at dinner. Just talking and sharing a meal together. Everyone was involved, even their littlest one in his high chair, playing and just happy to be present at the meal. After dinner, we played "Funglish," a very fun game that Brian turned out to be the champion at. All through out the evening, it was such a blessing to be spending time with this awesome family. There was even a point when I looked across the table at Brian holding the littlest one, and Heather serving the dessert, that it made me long for a family of my own someday. I realized how much I want to raise kids with Nate and have a family together. It was like a glimpse into a future I hope to have someday.
Heather and Brian, thank you SO much for making us feel so special and for such a fun evening we got to spend with you all. You are wonderful hosts and terrific friends. It's our turn to have you guys over next!
Love,
Andrea
