a little bit of {this and that}

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”

me and my best friend (way back in the way back). my life was complete the day Troy decided to be my best friend for life. Words cannot describe.

I am eternally grateful for my lovely friends. I know that I am richly blessed.

One of the things on my list (of 36 things to do before I'm 37) is to nourish my friendships. It's probably one of my favorite things on my list (obviously because I have great friends).

If you're my friend and you weren't pictured here you can either:

a) count yourself lucky this time because my photos are so unorganized now that I couldn't find you (Tami - I have a great photo of us at a gift shop sale...darned it where'd it go?)
or
b) know that your time is coming so watch out
AND
c) know that you were NOT forgotten and that I treasure you.

Happy Day my friends!
