Good Friends Make Good Times Better

A lot of people are nice. But sometimes you happen upon a really good friend who just starts making a difference in your life the moment they step into it. They're the kind of friends who go way beyond the call of duty or whatever. It just so happens that I have recently made a friend like this.

I'm going to call her J-Mo to keep her identity safe.

Recently my family was getting ready to go on a VERY long road trip. We were excited... but as parents, Josh and I were a little worried about how the kids would handle 20 hours in the car. (20 hours, we ARE crazy!) We did everything we could to gear up and prepare.

But the day before we left, my sweet friend Jenny stopped by our house and dropped off the "Roadtrip to Disney World Survival Box." Here's a picture of it:



This box was truly intended for princesses of the road! It had different kinds of beverages, sweet treats, salty treats, crowns, princess earrings, big jeweled rings, notebooks, wands that were also pens, stickers... all kinds of goodies and activities for our kids to do while they were in the car. When they saw the box, they could harldy wait to get on with the trip!

Who cares about your endless road trip and how your kids are going to handle it? Most people who are not going on the trip really don't care! But Jenny is just a great friend and wonderful person all around. And I don't think we can ever thank her enough for the hours of entertainment and happiness she brought to our house (and car) that day!
