Friendships are a gift from God!!!

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone for the length of time it has been between my post. I have basically had no life this past month. I have been working way to much. I am starting to slow down now though. I am actually taking my two days off each week now.

Last night I was actually able to enjoy my life a little bit, well actually a lot with three of my closest friends (Amanda, Andrew, and David). It was about midnight when we decided that Amanda, Andrew, and myself would drive down to Louisville to see one of my best friends from college David. We got to Louisville about 2:oh or:30 am and hung out at Steak and Shake for a while. Then we went down to the river side to shoot off some bottle rockets. Before we started shooting off the bottle rockets though Andrew found a bottle floating down the river. When he grabbed it out of the river there was actually a message in it. That's pretty cool, because it's not to often that you find a message in a bottle. Here are some pictures of the message in the bottle.

Any way after the excitement of finding a message in a bottle we began to shoot off bottle rockets. It is actually really cool to shoot off bottle rockets into the river. They go down into the water and light up the water while making a splash. We also had a few that flew across the top of the water like skipping stones on the water, which was really neat.

(Andrew watched in amazement as David made a bottle rocket skip across the water.)

(Amanda and I enjoyed watching the guys as they tried doing different tricks while shooting off the bottle rockets.)

I am so glad that I was able to introduce two of my closest friends from home to one of my best friends from college. I look forward to spending more time together. We had an incredible night just hanging out together. Whoever said that Christians can't have fun was wrong, because we had an incredible time. We hung out and talked about many things and were also able to pray and share in Christ love with each other and the people around us.

Isn't it awesome that God puts such awesome people in our lives that we can Riley on. I pray that the friendship I have here will last the rest of my life.

Well, I gotta go pick up my dog from the groaners, so I will chat at you all later.

Love Ya,

Crystal
