The Amazing Godwins

Several weeks ago around Easter we were visited by the amazing Godwin family. The Godwins mean more than they will ever know to Jared and I. They were our adopted family when we were at Auburn. They have four wonderful and dynamic children who really are not children anymore but rather young adults. Jared and I have never been around such well behaved children and the respect they show their parents is amazing. Sara Caitlin, their only daughter, was a flower girl in our wedding and I just love her sweet spirit. Mary Ann has taught me so much about being a Godly wife and mother. She invested so much time into my life while at Auburn and continues to do so. I can call her at anytime and ask her any question and she always gives such a well thought out and wise answer. I pray that I will someday be as wonderful a mother and wife as she is. Norman is such a honest man with strong convictions and does an incredible job as husband and father. We also appreciate his willingness to offer his house as part of bail money when Jared was part of a certain heist operation in Auburn back in the day. We were sad not to have had all the Godwins here, but we understand Harris (their almost 16 year old) that you are now just too cool..haha and Norman we understand you had to work. Harris, some of these pictures I am posting are for you specifically because I want you to see that your two younger brothers had no fear at the local skate park. They were hanging with the best of them with their "ripsticking" moves. I was impressed. So these pictures are to prove the stories Clay and Ellis probably told you when they got home.
It is a true gift to call such amazing people as the Godwins friends.
