Friend of The Week

I got this idea from another blogger, Kelly Anne. She is totally fantastic; I really recommend her blog if you need inspiration and a dose of humor. She took our wedding photographs, actually, and I've loved her ever since.

Anyways, the idea is to take photos of your friends and tell a bit about them.

This is my dear friend Lynette. She is stunning, eh?

Lynette and I met almost seven years ago when I moved to Dallas. Her husband was in med school at Southwestern, a year ahead of Adam. (Goodness, Lynette, that was when we lived in apartments and had no kids...crazy!) I had the pleasure of watching her daughter Ella (who is 6 days older than Nate) when Lynette finished out the school year after our babies were born. We bought our first home just a few doors down from her little family (again, before we had kids) and loved having such great neighbors.
I look up to Lynette so much. She has always been kind-hearted and sweet, and a little too pretty for her own good ;) I've seen her face her own struggles with grace and optimism. She's gone through things that I think lesser women could never handle, and I love her for being such a fantastic example of Christlike response to trials and life's experiences.
I love you, Lynette. THANK YOU for being so amazing.

(She had no idea I was doing this, so I hope that she doesn't get too upset at me for putting her in the spotlight!)

More friends to come, maybe not every week, but I'm going to try!
