Thankful Thursday!

I am sure somewhere out in this great big bloggy world there is a Thankful Thursday, so I am going to just jump into it today! Because I am soooooo thankful for my friends! I can't tell you how much they mean to me! All of my family live in FL so my girlfriends are vital to me! I could never express how much they mean to mean but I am going to try! Trust me when I say this post could go on forever but in the hope of not keeping it too long, I am going to only do 2 today! Maybe this is what I should start doing on Thursday's, being thankful for certain friends! I see an idea brewing...oh wait I digress! Thankful Thursday...

First up is my bff She-She, as my kids call her! The first time we met, was right after the GD & I had gotten engaged & were visiting his family. After the first time we met I told the GD that I thought we would be great friends! Unbeknown-st to me, she told him the same thing a few weeks later! We got married just 3 weeks apart & became fast friends! When we moved here I knew only her & she totally took me in! She cracks me up so much, & I really don't know what I would do without her! We can get into all kinds of trouble but we have fun doing it! Goodness knows our husbands have their hands full when we are together, who knows what will happen on our 5 day cruise! She has been there for me through some of the hardest times of my life in the last 7 yrs! I know there are some friends that come & go but I know we will truly be friends forever. Causing trouble in the nursing home! She is truly like the sister I never wanted had! One of the greatest memories of my life was being able to be in the room when her son was born. It was a such a great experience & one that I know I will never forget! I love you She! Thank you for being my friend!

Next up is Angie, I can't tell you how much this woman means to me! She is always there with a listening ear & hug to give away! We have known each other a little over 4 yrs from church, but really just became friends in the last year or so. Let me tell you the strength this momma has...6 kids! Yep 6! I can't even imagine, her oldest is 19 & just got engaged & her youngest is 6! I couldn't even count the number of times I have called her & asked how something worked at the school our kids attend! I know I probably drive her crazy, but she has been through it all & I am just starting out! I wouldn't know how half the stuff about how the school works if it weren't for her! She is always there for when I call & ask her to pick up S-Man from school for me. And never bats an eye! Yesterday she was generous enough to pick him up, take him home with her, & then drop him off with his Daddy at church! Just so I didn't have to get D-D out again! What an awesome friend is she! The one thing I wish she knew is how wonderful she is, she doesn't believe it but I DO! She has such amazing strength, love, concern, selflessness, generosity & so much more! I honestly believe that if I needed it, she would give me the shirt off her back. There are very few people in this world that are like that & I know she is one! Thank you my friend for....well for just being you!!!
