It is really neat how God works things out. I can't help but think of the intricate path that has been taken in intertwining my life with our group of friends. Who would have ever thought we would all be friends. I went to preschool with Oliver and Will Bragdon, I got held back a year and they ended up being my brother's friends. I went to middle school and high school with Danielle, Oliver, Will Bragdon and Cristy, but they were all a year ahead of me so we never really hung out. Danielle and I ended up on the same recreation soccer team along with her sister. I had friends in Augusta Georgia and went to visit them and we all ended up at Will Gibbs house, and then Will worked on work crew with Brad (I think the same year) at the middle school camp I have been involved with, for the past 10 years. Will and Danielle met at the same camp while on staff and ended up dating and getting married, Oliver and Cristy knew each other ever since middle school and got married. Oh.. not to mention Brad and Oliver became friends and ended up going to England for a year together. Will Bragdon, Cristy, and Oliver have been great friends for a long time, and somehow in this web of confusion and connections, we have all become friends. Brad and I met, not knowing that we were friends with the same people, and then come to find out Danielle went to school with someone who grew up in the very small town where Joanna lived. Joanna ended up at Mitchell Road where she met will and now they are married... I don't know its all confusing and sounds crazy, but our lives have all crossed paths in so many ways. We were meant to be lifelong friends and I truly cherish each of their lives. It is not often that we all get to spend so much time together, with Cristy and Oliver living in California. But when we are all together it is so much fun! OK.. I will quit with my rambling, because I am sure no one was able to follow all my connections. We had an amazing time at The Bragdon Wedding and are so excited that they are finally married!

I have no clue what the guys are doing here...

Matt, Brad, and Andy... Long time friends!
