For the many places that Travis and I have lived, we have met and become friends with lots of people. But because of the craziness of life and circumstances, we have not kept up with many of them. There are a few, however, that we have maintained relationships with. One family is the Coffelts from Pryor, Oklahoma. We all met in college, and our paths have continued to cross over the years. A bonus is that Pryor is kinda in the path from here to Oklahoma. So, there have been a few times when we had a little extra time, 
that we will stop and hang out with them for a while. This was one of those times. We left Travis' family on Saturday afternoon and were in Pryor by 7pm. James is a pastor there and their church services are on Saturday night, so when we got there we attended their church. It was wonderful and refreshing.
We then ate out with a group from the church, and then headed to their house. We already had Sunday off from our church so we were set for a night of playing and catching up. Little did we know that it would be 6:30 AM before we would see our beds! We all slept in, of course, and then spent Sunday relaxing.
Later that evening, some people from their church came over and we just 
sat and had our own worship time with guitars, mandolins and a piano, oh yeah, and James' new toy, some new kind of 
drum. It was really fun.
Then we hung out playing Apples to Apples, Fact or Myth, and Rock Band. Travis and I were the only ones to score 100% on our parts!!! lol. Anyway, one more late night
(3am for me) and we woke up to leave for home on Monday.
We are so thankful for lifelong friends like James, Jamie, Riley and Rance. I feel so loved to know that God places people like these in our lives to refresh us, make us laugh, and that we can come into their home and feel like we never left! Can't wait for the next time!
