The Reimers Love The Hillyers

Meet the Hillyers! They’re some of our closest friends. Sunee and I became close friends in fourth grade and we’ve stayed that way since. From TP-ing at sleepovers to planning weddings and baby showers, we’ve experienced a lot of life together. The Hillyers have been in Seattle for the last while and they’re on a new adventure — moving back to the Bay Area — right before their little dude Jude turns one. (How is he already a year old?! *cries*). Their move back to my mom’s hood means we’ll hopefully get to see them more.

AND they are moving specifically to be ingrained in the city of San Francisco, equipping the global church in everyday discipleship. (Check out their link and support them, would ya?!). Adam and Sunee are two folks whose hearts are full of hope in a hard world, who are fervent believers in compassion and listening to one another, who walk out what it means to love their neighbors. Jackson and I are excited to see what this new chapter holds for the Hillyers.

We got the chance to visit them and meet Jude in August. Pandemic restrictions meant we couldn’t go to restaurants or see the city like we normally would have done, but Sunee and Adam took us blueberry picking and picnicking by the lake. We walked around the harbor, snapped some photos, and generally just cooed over Jude. With all the blueberries we picked (and there were many), we made blueberry crumble, blueberry pancakes, blueberry margaritas, and blueberry margaritas. We ate fresh caught salmon and grilled veggies and laughed until the sun extinguished.

The embrace of an old friend, a good friend, is like nothing else. They’re the family we choose.
