In honor of all this froginess (see other entries and my Truth Laid Bear status as a crawly amphibian~just perfect!) today, I thought it was appropriate to tell a little froggie story.  Just follow along with the photos above...

Once upon a time my bestest, longest, dearest, most fantabulous friend Elizabeth (see photo 1) gave me a frog prince (see photo 2).  She was given this frog by a friend (to whom this frog was also given with this same purpose)who told her that he was to be her prince until God gave her her true prince charming and then she was to give him away to another princess in waiting.  Well, dearest gave the frog prince to me (see photo 3 - this was a good hair day!) and he patiently waited through a couple prince-not-so-charmings (see photo 4) before God gave me my most wonderful, handsome, gorgeous, God-honoring hubby (see photo 5 - as if you hadn't already guessed by my description!). 

As custom would have it, having been married since March, it is time I send froggie off to a new home.  I do believe I have a perfect one in mind, although it will be a challenge departing with my long-time buddy.  After all, he was more than a silly token - he was a reminder that my best friend  prayed for the blessing of a godly husband...and so I will also pass him on as a promise of prayer.

Didn't know "frogs" could be so sentimental!
