Nothing of huge significance has happened in my life this week. The best thing about this week was that I got to spend a lot of time in the company of friends. On Monday I took my kids over to a friend's house to play so that we could catch up. On Wednesday I watched my friend's daughter so she could go on a field trip with her son. When she came to pick her up, she stayed to chat for a spell. Yesterday I met with a friend for coffee and we talked about life in general. Tonight we're having friends over for dinner and Sunday is our usual date with my SIL and her husband.
I sure do value the importance of friendship. That's part of why I really enjoy Company Girl Coffee. I love to sit at my computer and share my life over a cup of coffee, then take time to stop over and see how you are doing. It always lifts my spirits and calms my soul to check in each week. I love to pray for you, laugh with you, and even cry with you. That's what friends are for after all! Many times I nod my head in complete agreement while I'm reading because I am either experiencing the same thing, or have been there before. So today I just want to say thanks girls, for letting me be a part of your life!
Whether I am opening the doors of my home to those who are near, or opening my heart to you out there, I LOVE BEING A COMPANY GIRL! : )
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in it's various forms." -1 Peter 4:8-10

Hi Melissa,
I love the new blog design, and I love being a Company Girl, too :) It feels great to know that other wives/moms deal with similar things. I feel like I have friends all over now...lifting me up :) It is awesome!
Me TOO! I love being a company girl and feeling a connection to this life that is shared by so many amazing women. Thanks for having us over.
I enjoy checking in too!
Friends make life seem more sane for me often. :-)
And I laugh that you timed yourself in the shower.
Rachelanne really blesses me somedays with her incredibly simple ideas. Now... I must go time my table-clearing/
dishwashing/
floorsweeping/
garbage-taking-out routine. . .
Happy Weekend!

I love being a Company Girl, too! And I love having you for a Company Girl (sniff!!)
It is amazing how little things can connect us. We are all taking showers and fixing lunches and organizing shoes......everything seems better and easier, knowing you have friends along with you.
I need to review my own pocket list....and put it where I can see it!! It doesn't do me any good to have it filed away either. And thanks for the reminder about the memorization. I want to do more of it...but life gets busy and I forget the most important part of my day!
