Thankful Post "Angie"

Meet my very quiet and sweet friend Angie!

I know some may find this hard to believe, but I am usually the quiet one out of all my friends. But Angie has me beat for sure. Her and her family moved to our area, a couple of years ago. I met her thru some mutual friends. Over the summer, my family got really close to her and her little family. She is married to T.D. who is a great guy, and a lot of fun to be around. He and Trav are so much alike! And they both keep us laughing non stop! And she has 3 daughters!

I decided to blog about her for a few reasons.

One, I am just excited to have made friends with another family, who actually enjoys doing family things together! Who have the same outlook on life? And don’t deal with all that silly drama!!

Two, I am thrilled, I have met a friend who let’s me spoil her precious baby!
And last, to tell how Angie ministered to me..

Like I said, over the summer we got really close. A group of our friends would have family night at each of our homes. We had lots of cook outs, we put fires out together. We watched each others kids play softball. We just had a blast! Angie and T.D. were always smiling, very friendly, than they shared the news with us about her expecting! We were all giddy with excitement, (ok, maybe it was more me that was giddy)..

So, life kept on going on. Than they hit hard times. We found out TD lost his job, he had known for a couple of wks, but they did not want to bring us down, so they still had dinner at their place, and never acted down either! Umm, lets not forget that they just found out they were pregnant! Than her daughter breaks her ankle, and is taken to the emergency room. Again, no job! It seemed from the outside looking in, that they were taking hit after hit. But, during that entire time, Angie never had a bad attitude. She was always smiling; she was walking the track every single night, in that brutal summer heat. This woman was remarkable. I know, I would have crawled in bed, in the fetal position, and just cried!

I honestly believe, that because of Angie’s wonderful attitude, thru out all this. Is why, things are going so great for her and her precious family now. T.D got a great job, working for Coca Cola, Angie gave birth to a precious baby girl, and her daughter did not require surgery for her ankle. Angie is still smiling, and just enjoying being a stay at home mommy.

So Angie. I just wanted you to know, that I watched you thru those times, and prayed many prayers. And I am still just amazed at how you handled everything. Your strong Faith, ministered to me that God will take care of everything. So, thank you for being a part of my life, for setting such a great example, and I look forward to many years of family fun!
