Last night I decided to go with Shannon over to Bonnie's house for her little Slumber Parties thing she was doing. It was a lot of fun being with the girls. Shannon and I have been friends from the first time she moved next door (26 years ago). We don't always hang out or keep up with each other but as soon as we get together it is like we haven't been apart at all. Love her! Then Chloe stopped by for a minute and I wish I could have stayed longer with her but 10:00 was coming close and Jason was home taking care of kids for me for the 2nd night in a row so I thought I better hop on home.
I am blessed with so many great friends in my life. There are times I feel like I don't have many. I lost a lot of friends when I got married. Most of my friends from highschool stopped talking to me as soon as I started dating a guy from another school (my hubby now). I stopped cheerleading and just kind of drifted away. It was after I found out I was pregnant that I realized these people were NOT my true friends. I grew up with them, I did everything with them but honestly they could care less who I was or what I was doing. Not a single one of them came to see me in the hospital after my surgery. Anyway, this is getting jumbled but I went years all alone. Then I was blessed with a Sister in law! Chloe has been such a huge blessing to me. We have a lot of the same likes and dislikes. She is ALWAYS there for me and I love having her as a sister. My brother Devin will be getting married very soon and he has blessed me with another Sister! Katie is so much fun and I really get along with her. She is also a great friend and so I am super blessed to have these two beautiful girls in my life! I do have my husband's sister as well. We are only 3 months apart in age (her being older) and she has been such a great friend to me as well. Tiffany came into our family about a year ago and she is a blast and great to support you in everything. With that being said I have all my sisters around me that keep me from going crazy. The ward I live in is amazing. I can count so many of them as my friends. Not as close as I am with my sisters but they have been a huge support to me over the past 4 years we have lived here. All in all I am blessed with lots and lots of friends. Lots and lots of support and I am so lucky! This is more of a "count your blessings, name them one by one" post ha ha So today I am thankful for friends!
