Great Friends!

Our great friends HEATHER AND SAM came home for the week. The trip was 3-fold for them. 1) It was Sam's parents anniversary (they surprised them at their party and they had no idea they were coming home!) 2) Jeff and Shelby (the driver Sam Crew Chief'd for out here) got married last Saturday and 3) THANKSGIVING! It has been about a year and half since they moved to North Carolina and they have done such amazing things. We are so proud of them and their huge accomplishments. Sam is working for Kevin Harvick Inc. as the truck chief for the #2 team. The team made huge improvements when Sam came on board and of course we KNOW it is because of his knowledge, dedication and hard work. We weren't able to see their amazing kids (which bummed us out!) but we hoping to go back and spend time with them in 2009. BECKY drove over from Monroe for the big welcome home party on Wednesday night. I had so much fun and Rick enjoyed seeing Sam and talking racing with many of our racing friends. I am so THANKFUL for great friends... the ones that make you tear up when you say good-bye (and yes Becky that means you too)!
