The Hendricksons are some of our favorite people EVER!!!! If our family turns out even a teeny weeny bit like them, we would be ecstatic. How can I even begin to explain the Hendricksons? They are the kind of people that even in a crowded room, they can make you feel like you are the most important person there! We LOVE them!! [Background info: Brett & I were talking about them tonight and ...we aren't even really sure how we got so lucky to get to know them. But, we did first meet them when Todd was serving as the Stake President here in Fargo. We instantly fell in love with their cute family. We loved being included in their holiday traditions or just hanging out with them any chance we could. My kids adore them all. I sure hope my girls will be able to meet some boys just like the Hendrickson boys when they are looking for a spouse. Too bad their youngest is at least 8 years older than my oldest. :) Bummer for us! Todd & Becky are some pretty remarkable parents to have raise just fabulous boys! Becky--Can I send Justice to live with you? Also, Victoria still has Matt's High School graduation announcement up on the wall above her light switch so we see him everyday! :) Although, unfortunately, it's been too long and she was a little shy tonight. Sorry Matt!] We did get to go visit them in their new home in Kansas last summer which was so much fun! But it's just not the same as having them here. Well, lucky for us, Garrett married this adorable lady named Saryn AND the Hendricksons are runners! With the Fargo marathon going on and the fact that we Fargo friends wanted to celebrate Garrett & Saryn-- the Kings threw a little open house for them while they are here to run the Half-marathon as a family. It was so great to see them and chat and laugh just like they never left. Matt & Nate are all grown up and buff and everything! ;) and Todd & Becky are as gorgeous as ever. Brett & Matt always have a great time chatting about school and missions and working out and guns and whatever else. They crack me up! We had planned to only stay for a short bit but ended up hanging out as long as we could. By the end, I was practically bribbing them to hang out with us tomorrow. GoKarts... basketball...Ironman 2 movie... dinner... PLEASE.. what's it gonna take??!!! LOL! Hopefully, they'll have time to squeeze us in but if not, we are very grateful for the time we did get to see them. Thanks for being such great people! Congrats Garrett & Saryn!!! May you have a blast on your new adventure together.
{and thanks to the Kings for their hospitality. You always throw a great party! We sure are gonna miss you!}
