Hugs For My Girlfriends

Our shared memories have brought tons and tons of laughter the kind that you have to cross your legs for, daily smiles and a few tears. How could I have survived without you ladies? Seriously, as I sit here and think about everything I have gone through with all of you sometimes one on one and other times as a group I'm in awe. Heavenly Father has blessed me in abundance with the most special amazing women. I hope my daughters will always have friendships like mine. I'm so privileged to call you all friend.
Friendship is mutual blackmail elevated to the level of love. Just sit and think for a moment what we know about each other. You are smiling aren't you, I know I am.


Me~Renee~Julie

These are two of the sweetest, kindest, and most fun people I know. We spend many weekends around a fire pit, (summer through winter) or huddled in a garage "watching" the race with our hubbys, or playing cards. Our families are family and we love spending time together. They both are so accepting, respectful and supportive of my beliefs it truly blows my mind sometimes. They are both so special ~ how blessed am I to have found the two of them.

















Terri~Shelley~Allison~Me~Michelle
Where was Tara?

We can resist temptation, but never mischief. Oh my gosh do we have fun together! As Michelle would say, "We are like the island of misfit toys". We all come from extremely different backgrounds, economic situations, life experiences and yet have this unexplainable bond that keeps us afloat on this island in life.
We will find ANY excuse to get together, girls night, girls weekend, couples date night (when there have too many girl only events) family vacations, holidays, any type of celebrations, etc.. Any reason for a potluck, bunco, or karaoke right ladies!!?? The coolest part of our relationship is that we bring our love of the Lord and knowledge of all He has to offer into it ~ I am constantly reminded that I a a daughter of God, that He loves me and knows me as an individual because of their thoughts, words and deeds.


Somethings we have supported each other through:
*vacuums,plastic bracelets, way too little tee shirts, and other unmentionable gifts from spouses(not mine)
*teenagers~(one of us threatened to eat our young)
*school(some things don't change even when your 40)
*turning 40 and all that that brings
*husbands and all that that brings
*broken bones(one of us really gets excited about the x-rays though)
*varnish being spilled on our head while working on the deck
*so much cake batter coldstone icecream that one of had to pull over and puke on the way home
*marathons(that would include training in the rain and running past the car and having to run a few extra miles to the naming of a running team)
*weddings
*kids in college
*graduations
*grand babies
*missions
and so many more memories and soooo many more to come.


My Rockin Babe of a Friend

Nicole~Me
Nicole and I love the same kind of music (and musicians)and have rocked out at some great concerts together.We have sunned our buns on the beaches of Hawaii~Maui (She's a beach babe and I'm more of a beached whale) We also love good food and get together as much as possible for lunch, dinner, or dessert(sometimes all three) at yummy restaurants(that may have something to do with the whale comment) Cheese Cake Factory and Chino Latino are two of our favorites. Nicole is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the out and I love her!
