I was thinking about my blog last night when I was laying in bed. I try to write about things that are important in my life. It dawned on me that I've been incredibly blessed with a huge amount of friends and I just wanted to mention some of them on here today in no particular order!
Lisa K.~ You've been my friend for 18 years and have seen the good, the bad, the ugly...thank you for the faithfulness you've shown in our friendship. The thing I'll remember most is when you dropped everything and came to see me (3 hours away) when I went into pre-labor with the boys. I didn't ask you to do that! I opened my eyes in my hospital room and there you were! You're an incredible prayer warrior!
Tina D.~ I've known you since 7th grade! You put up with me being your roommate for awhile in college...those were good times! Thank you so much for the clothes that you give me for Emalee. I know I've told you, but I really do appreciate it! Thanks for taking time out of our schedule every summer to visit w/me.
Stacy P.~ You tell it like it is, you shoot straight with me and keep me accountable! Thank you for your honesty and trustworthiness. Thanks for forgetting things that I tell you... LOL!!! We have a lot in common. I love your kids and I think you're one of the best mom's I know!
Kristin C.~ Although you're so much younger than me you are so mature in so many ways...far beyond your years in certain areas. I've seen you go from an engaged young woman to a married mom of 2! You're a great accountablity partner too and I appreciate your honesty. I love watching you grow in the Lord.
Kelly P.~ You were the first to know about Emalee. Thank you for keeping quiet while we prayed. It's been fun watching the Lord bless you with 3 babies! I think it's so sweet that Emalee and Natalie are friends....the two babies that we prayed for : ) God is good!
Hannah S.~ What can I say? This has been an interesting year : ) Watching you figure things out and turn back to Truth has been an incredible blessing. You give us all hope that things will work out if we follow Truth! I'm so proud of you! Your bubbly spirit keeps me happy!
Michelle F.~ Last, but not least! This past year you have been a great friend to have. Although I've known you for several years (maybe 16-17???) I never realized that we would become good friends. Thanks for carrying me along these past few months. When Kara died I lost a great friend, but you stepped in and I realized that I gained another! Thank you for doing my laundry when all I could do was feel numb!
There are so many more friends that I have....so many more that I didn't mention. I love you all and consider myself extremely blessed to have you all be a part of my life!
