Jes and Mac

These are the Rainwaters. Jessica and I went to high school together, we were pretty good friends for a couple of years. The time that we spent together was priceless! Once we were stuck in a snowstorm together, on the rim, in my piece of you know what neon. Jessica and Danielle shrilled the whole time which made it totally easy for me, the driver, to concentrate. Jessica taught me all about the importance of expensive makeup (even though I somehow find myself at the target cosmetics section), made me laugh until my stomach hurt, and we shared many stories and trials to help each other during some hard years. Thanks for letting me be apart of your family pics this year, next time please bring that cute dog bikini :)

M&J

On to another couple, but this is no ordinary couple. Kam and Jared used to work together. We became friends, and have had a lot of fun together. Last year we went to a cabin with them for new years and had a blast. We played some pretty fun games, I got to see Jared jump up and down like a monkey, talked with Melanie about her 1st marathon training and had a blast. I remember thinking, you ran 19 miles today? Who does that, who can do that? Then when I got involved in running more I realized anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Jared recently finished an Iron Man, and I am thinking to myself, who does that, who can do that? They are both planning on running another full marathon in January. Jared and Melanie have also inspired our little families tesitimony about eternal families. A few months ago they welcomed a sweet stillborn baby boy, Brixton McCay, into this world. He was so perfect that Heavenly Father needed him home a little bit early. This has made me cherish every moment I have with my sweet little girl. I hope that they can be examples to you. Jared and Melanie are going to be the most amazing parents someday soon, I just know it.
