This morning we took an hour scenic drive to visit with the Faheys. We realized as we were catching up that three years had already passed since our last visit, which was when Anthony came home. Due to a change in jobs our Bemidji State friends relocated from their St. Michael home to their current home out in the country close to Hinckley.It was great to spend a few hours visiting with Casey and Jessi again as well as their two beautiful girls, Jovi and Neela. Even though our days of crazy college fun is long behind us it was immediately clear that we still have a strong foundation of friendship. It was really nice to catch up with Jessi and realize that our priorities in life are very much the same --- our families mean everything to us. It was also fun to venture downstairs and see that Casey, the forever hunter, has been busy. The best addition to his collection of animals was a giant moose head. (Very cool!) Later he shared his Canadian hunting DVD story, which was fun to see the sights & hear Casey commentating, but a bit hard to see the actual kill of this magnificent animal hanging on the wall. (This comes as no surprise for those of you who know me.)
We left their house feeling thankful for the visit and for genuine friends who withstand the gaps when life happens. Our hope is that this time around it won't take us another three years to get together again.
Thank you, Fahey family! You are a delight!

We were blessed to have a visit from you three. Even though a couple years have past by, the friendship we started back in the college days hasn't went away. Going from the crazy college stories, marriage and now our own children, we have grown into loving parents of beautiful children. And you are right, we have turned out to be crazy alike in our view of life and the passion we have for our families. It was very clear that you are awesome parents to Anthony and that he loves and finds comfort and safety in your presence. He is a treasure. God chose two perfect people to love him and guide him. We look forward to the next visit!
