How lucky we are...

I know, 6 weeks with no news, and now 2 in a row! But Andy and I have had an amazing weekend. Yesterday morning we went to a funeral for a friend's grandmother. It was overwhelming to see the whole family there, to hear their stories about such a great lady, and we have been lucky enough to feel included in their family for the last few years. She was a great example, working for the community and loving her family.

Then yesterday afternoon we went to a neighborhood Kentucky Derby party. We had a great time getting to know some of our local "outcasts" a little better. I won the loser's pool - yeah, Flying Private!

This morning we attended a Blessing for Nikki's little boy (see Rockin' Richins blog). It was very moving to watch and listen to the amount of love they have for Cole. After we left the service, Andy and I went for breakfast. We were talking about how lucky we are to have met so many people who are just doing the best that they can, as individuals, as families, and as friends. We are so lucky!
