New Life Begins…

Posted by: Julie on Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The past couple of weekends I have been blessed to welcome two new lives into this world…. Two of my best friends had new babies!

The first, Mason David, is the precious baby boy of my Oklahoma best buds Sheri and David.  Sheri used to work with me at a furniture store in Tulsa, when we met after ‘dating’ the same guy one after the other.  We became best friends at a Tulsa Drillers minor league baseball game when he incidentally invited both of us!  Ah, summers in Oklahoma… We had a killer-deal for our 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-story apartment on Shadow Mountain overlooking the downtown skyline at $760/month…. I miss those days in the great state of OK with lower cost of living!  Sheri and David have been great friends to me in good times and in tough times.  They kept me sane while working for a really tough boss, they saved me from marrying the wrong guy, they celebrated a new job with me when I moved to Chicago, they supported me through getting my masters degree, and they cried with me when I faced tough decisions.  Friends like this don’t come around too often, and I’m thankful that the miles will never separate us.

The second, Riley Heather, is the beautiful baby girl of my college roommate Heather and her husband Mike.  Heather and Mike are incredible parents already, and they are naturals with Riley.  Heather was one of my closest friends at Wheaton College and continues to be a source of authentic friendship as we move into adulthood.  She and I not only shared our dormroom together in the third floor of Williston Hall, but we also shared a few other things… a love for cereal, a love for TCBY ice cream, a love for random outings like a Wal-Mart scavenger hunt or a corn maze in a field, and we even shared the joy of dating two guys who were brothers… Yep, that was interesting… never a dull moment with Dave and Wes!  I’m so thankful Heather found a great guy in Mike Green, who – even though he went to our rival school Taylor University – is the best person we could’ve asked for for Heather, who deserves the best.  These are two of the most generous people I know, and I’m so thankful to have them in my life.

Sheri, David, Mason, Mike, Heather, and Riley, I love you so much and am so blessed that you’re a part of my life.  Mason and Riley, welcome to this world and I’m so thankful to be a part of your life.  Can’t wait to see what God has in store for you!  You’ve got great parents and an aunt Julie who loves you very much!

Babies are always a blessings. I heard somewhere before that babies are God’s message that he still doesn’t want the world to end.
