Some of you have heard me talk about Pete and Betty before. They are two of my absolute FAVORITE people in this whole world! Betty is a mother figure, mentor, role model and above all friend to me. She is always there through thick and thin. I can call her to cry or laugh or anything else in the middle. She always has sound advice. She loves my family as her own. She has truly taught me family means much more than blood you find your true family in the friends you share unconditional love with. There house is one my absolute favorite places to be. They have 5 acres on a dead end road and it is so peaceful there. They have the most perfect setting for a sunset I've ever seen. Every time I go there you feel like you've been wrapped up in a warm blanket and you never want to leave. Did I also mention Betty's cooking is the best I've ever tasted!! And that Pete makes the best fires and campfire coffee I've ever had. Stevan grew up with Pete and Betty and it sure does show. Every time Pete and Stevan are together I think to myself so that's where he gets it and I mean that as a compliment. Pete is a hard working honest, generous, kind, gentle man. He seems to always have a smile on his face. He's one of those people that when they speak you listen. I have a lot of respect for Pete and I'm proud to be called his friend. Needless to say a get together with them is a guaranteed good time. I treasure every moment I get to spend them and there kids. We had a wonderful bbq about, gosh almost a month already. Pete bbq'd ribs and Betty made potato salad and delicious delicious bread! We had a few drinks the kids got to swim in the hot tub and then warm up around a fire while roasting marshmallows. Pete and Betty are just the type of people you can be yourself around no matter what. You don't have pressure to impress or mind or p's and q's you just get to.... be, and that is great. You don't find many people like that in the world anymore. I am so thankful they are in our lives every single day!!
