Day 11: Kira Parfitt

Howdy gang! Drew and I just got back from a really fun day with Cary and Kira some our dear friends from college (and fellow newlyweds). We had a blast riding ATV's and hanging out with them all day. We miss them so much!

I got to spend a lot of great quality time with Kira today which was sort of a first for us. We have been friends for a while now, but we always did most activities as a couple. Today was great though because we had some great couple togetherness, but also some really needed one-on-one girl time.

We shopped at a mall while the guys hung out for a while. We had a great time looking for great deals, picking out clothes, trying on different lotions, and justifying our purchases, of course!

It was so refreshing to talk to another newlywed woman. We have so many things in common in our relationships and it is very neat to both be at the same stage in life.

Kira is golden. She is a beautiful girl with an enormous heart. Just in the way she talks you can sense her compassion for others. She is extremely kind and caring. We had so many laughs tonight! I just had a great, great time.

Kira-

Thank you for being my friend! It was so nice to see you guys tonight and I can't wait until we can reunite again soon! I really wish we lived closer to you guys so we could get together more often! Maybe someday that will happen! I love that you are a Southern Girl, like myself, and that we have so much in common. Your calm, sweet nature is an inspiration to me. You only speak kind words, which is an obvious connection to your heart. You and Cary have a beautiful relationship and Drew and I are incredibly excited to see what the Lord has in store for you.
