I have moved twice since college and both times I remember thinking, “how will I ever make new friends like the ones I had here?”. Both times, however, God has provided friendships that are exactly what I–and my family–needed. Briana first introduced herself one day after church and extended such great hospitality by inviting us over for a bbq that night. In a time when we felt lonely and sad–missing dear friends back home–she included us and made us feel welcome here in Denver. Since then, us (and our kiddos!) have become fast friends and I am so thankful for the Van Andel family!

When Bri and her husband announced they were having a baby BOY–having two girls already–I was so thrilled for them. Boys are the best! 🙂 That little fella is going to be so well loved by his big sisters (I should know–I have a little brother that has all older sisters…he is very spoiled, right Sam?!)

There is so much excitement and anticipation when waiting for a baby and I hope you can feel that through these photos.
