Friends

Good friends are the people you want with you on the happiest days of your life. They are the people you want with you on the hardest days and on the most ordinary days too. I am blessed to call some pretty amazing women my friends. I am blessed to have each one of them walking with me as we make our way through this journey called life. Each friendship is unique, beginning right when it was supposed to in the way God planned. One began in college when two young women met and found comfort and strength in each other as they began their lives away from home. One began when a super sweet pharmacist reached out to a wife and mother she knew from years of dispensing sticky pink liquid and tons of advice. Two friendships began in this very place when women separated by miles recognized through their writing how very much alike they were. Texts followed, and eventually, blog friends became real-life friends.

My People, My Tribe, My Circle, My Friends ~Whatever you choose to call the people you share your days with~ I hope that you find them. I hope that you text each other just to tell them that you're drinking coffee and watching The Bachelor. I hope that you can call them and ask them what medicine they think you should take. I hope that they stand beside you when your first born gets married, and you can laugh and dance and eat and drink and celebrate together. 

Love you
 Heather, Kathleen, Danielle, and Marian!

  1. I LOVE this new blog look. It is so stunning! The profile picture of you and your hubby is so precious. I know where Madison gets her elegant look from. :)

    The theme here of FRIENDS is wonderful. I have a few of those kinds of friends sprinkled around close by, and some live further away...but the friendships are everlasting.

    Have a lovely Wednesday, my sweet friend. xo

  9. I am very happy for all the love you receive from your friends. Indeed friendship among women is special. We have been watching "The Bletchley Circle." That shows really shows that friendships can be powerful.

  12. There is nothing like good friends- those we have known for years, those new friends and those that develop through blogging. What a blessing.

  19. Oh this is just lovely and so true Billie Jo! They are the sisters we got to choose in this life. I have a tribe a lot like this - I have been friends with one since I was 2! And the 3 others I have been friends with since grade school or high school. They were all in my wedding and we are all as tight as ever. As I'm going through a difficult time in my life (that I know you know about dear friend) - I honestly don't know what I would be doing without them.

    I'm so happy to see you equally blessed. YOu are made up of the stuff of a true sister friend xoox

  20. Such a sweet photo of you and the ladies. I'm thrilled that Kathleen was able to get away!! And how I love the photo of you and Steve on the top right of your blog. I'm figuring out how to leave comments now that google has royally changed. Google Chrome is allowing me to do so. I hadn't thought to try it until today. Ugh.
