This weekend we had our good friends from Minnesota staying with us. It is always good to spend time with the people you love. Having Jen and Brandon come down here to visit has meant so much to Andy and me. Their friendship cannot and will not ever be replaced.
I think it is important to have people that you can spend time with in such close proximity. As some of you may know, Andy and I live in pretty tight quarters, not too tight, but smaller than we're used to. We have a 'Jack & Jill' bathroom that is shared between our 2 bedrooms, so it kind of forces us all to be extra aware of how much time we're spending in the bathroom. This is something Andy and I usually don't have to think about, but it is kinda fun being forced to be considerate of others with Jen and Brandon here this weekend. I think it shows the importance of community in that it teaches us to think of others, and focus less on ourselves.
It has been so great to have people to participate in conversation with us, to give insight, and to be supportive of us and each other. It is so great to have this blessing of community. It makes me think about how important it is to have people in our lives that we are comfortable with and who love us as much as we love them.
So far every morning, someone has made breakfast for everyone. Brandon makes a killer breakfast sandwich by the way. McDonalds better look out! It has been so much fun to share our lives with each other and live in constant community for the last 4 days. We are so blessed to have such good friends and to be able to live comfortably in community with them. I am so thankful. Love you Knudsvigs! Our lives would not be the same with out you!
