Bloggy Friends

Meet Dani Joy. She and her family are fellow missionaries in our neighboring country of Spain.


She has three fabulous boys that are very creative and have a blog where they post pictures of their newest creations and of course their hamsters....Hamy, Eva and maybe Wall-E....if I'm remember correctly. Those of us with kids know exactly where those names came from.


I can't even remember how Dani and I got to talking. One of us discovered the others blog I'm sure. She began leaving encouraging comments, always calling me "neighbor". I started a weight loss journey and she was right behind me, always encouraging me to keep on. We send emails weighing in to each other. We discuss our struggles and celebrate our victories.

However we've never spoken a verbal word to one another.

Next week we get the pleasure of having this precious family in our home for a few days! They're taking a vacation and spending a few of those days with us!! Can you believe that!! I am so excited I could shout!!

So, I'm a little nervous too. She may think I'm a red neck when she hears me talk. (But right now this cold has me sounding like a frog...maybe a froggy-redneck)

Anyway....stay safe Contreras family. Enjoy your visit down south. We're looking forward to seeing you next week!

How much fun is that! You're going to have a great time. You need to take pictures and share your party with the rest of us.

Hope you're starting to feel better.

Such a nice thing that your blog neighbour is coming over to visit you. Handshake to you Dani Joy. Your boys look cute . Where did they get those lips from? If they were available i would buy them for my sisters kiddos.

Besides you, the winner for this visit will be Justice. He won't know what to do with so many boys to play with.

It sounds like the beginning of a great tradition and family friendship. Keep the camera out and give us an up-front-and-personal birds-eye-view of the festivities.

Love,
Nanny
