An Ode to the Iowans

These are our
Iowans.

We love them a whole bunch.

And I'm pretty sure the feelings are mutual.

Between the Brocks and the Iowans there are no shared
hometowns,
colleges,
churches,
workplaces,
or homes.

We met in.....an interesting housing circumstance. And the friendship stuck. Praise the Lord! He knew we needed each other.

They have
loved us,
fed us,
laughed with us,
prayed with us,
been sad with us,
blessed our children with presents,
even taken off work to keep Nathan
when Isaac arrived.

Their love for my children is inspiring and contagious. With no children of their own, they still understand how children can be limiting. But they never see ours as a
burden,
only as more people for them to shower
with their selfless love.

Andrea, Katie, and Kelly, we love you.
We love that our friendship with you has stood the tests of
miles
and
time.
We look forward to every moment spent with you.
