Meeting Cheri

We just returned from our 5 day weekend to St. Louis. I will post more pictures later as well as info on all the fun we had. I just had to share this photo....God has been so good to me with all the wonderful woman I have had the pleasure to get to know through blogging, one of which is Cheri. On Friday, my husband and I drove about an hour and half outside of St. Louis to spend time with Cheri and her husband...WHAT A GIFT! We so enjoyed our visit, not ready to leave at all. The best part was our husbands truly seeing how much we are alike. Honestly, I do believe Cheri and I were separated before conception, we were absolutely cut from the same cloth. Both Sanguine, left handed, 3 boys, sleep to a fan, big diet coke drinkers, everyone we meet is our "forever" friend...the list goes on and on. We could finish each others sentences and although we have talked several times on the phone and internet, you would have thought we had spent a life time as sisters. We spent time with their small group (amazing group of people), hung out at their cabin and ate at their restaurant "McCallisters". I think the high light for me is when Cheri's husband kept looking at me and saying "I just cant believe your short...I thought you were tall". No, I am definitely short, I just have a tall personality! :) We expect to be in Guatemala at the same time in a few weeks with our girls (Malaena and Bella). Thank you dear Lord for all the blessings during this journey of adoption, especially this sweet friend and her family. Love ya Cheri, see you in a couple of weeks!
