best friends

I realize that I have fallen behind on posting what I’m thankful for this week.  I’ve truly had a lot going on at home and barely any time to write.  So to make up for it I’m doing on massive post for days 12-17.  What am I thankful for?  My friends, who are very much family to me. 

I’m thankful for my bestie, Tamara, who is ALWAYS there when I truly need her.  She goes far and beyond the call of friendship, especially when I need her most.  She gave me a roof over my head when I had no where else to go.  She fed me when she didn’t have to and I had no money.  She is so much more than a best friend.  She’s my sister from another Momma.  My twin I call her.  I’m more thankful for her being a part of my life than she will ever know.

I’m thankful for my Kimmie.  She, too, is always around when I need her.  Just today she was there helping me to straighten out a mess.  She helps me and everyone she loves, in everyway she can.  She’s always there with great advice, even when she’s super busy or can’t be there in person.  I’m thankful she is in my life.

I’m thankful for Cory, my best best guy friend.  He’s my shoulder to cry on.  He gives the best hug when all the world is wrong.  He’s also a awesome Cleaning Fairy and a big help to reach the top of my shed.  I’m thankful for him always being there for me.

I’m thankful for Mama J aka Jeannie.  She pushes me to do better.  She’s an awesome role model having been through so much in her life and still come out standing strong.  She’s a lot of fun to hang out with, a great dancing partner and is not afraid to stand up for those she loves.  I’m always thankful for her love and guidance in my life.

I’m thankful for Shaun, who has been my best friend for almost 20 years.  Though we haven’t always gotten along the best, she will always be my sister and has made huge impact on my life.  The things we’ve been through together will forever keep us bonded and I’m thankful for our friendship, for all the tears we’ve shared, and all the laughs too.  I am thankful she’s always been there and always will be.

I’m thankful for Cecia, who has been a bestie of mine since middle school.  I’m thankful for all her craziness.  I’m thankful for our fun times and her being there through some pretty tough years.  I know we don’t get to hang out anymore but I’m thankful that we are still able to call each other friends.

If you weren’t listed above, it doesn’t mean that you aren’t important to my life.  I’m thankful for each friendship I have.  God has brought some pretty awesome people into my life.  Most are more than friends and instead brothers and sisters.  Their existance in my life is encouraging and truly a blessing.  I’m a lucky girl for certain.  Thank you all for blessing my life. <3
