Family

     So, hello to all, I am new to blogging, but was told by a close friend that it's fun and therapeutic.  So, please be patient with me as I get started on this new adventure. 
     At, this time in my life, I must admit that I am at my happiest.  No exageration whatsoever!!!  I have been reconnecting with people this past year and it has proved to be very rewarding. 
     Julie, a close friend since the 5th grade has become one of my most trusted confidants.  A wonderful listener, she always tries and usually succeeds in cheering me up.  She is very kind, caring, and generous with her attention and love.  She always makes me laugh and we share complaints about alot of the same issues.  I'm happy to be apart of her life again as she has made her way from fiance, to wife, to now soon to be mother.  I can't begin to express how happy I am for her in her new ventures in life.  Her friendship is priceless to me and I enjoy being lazy with her.
     Melissa, another close friend since the tender age of 8 was actually the first friend I made when moving to Houston.  At the time, our shared interests, geekiness, and glasses made us tight from the get go.  She is one of the most easy going people I've ever met, and tends to want to please others and make sure everyone else is happy even before her own happiness.  Which can be a flaw and an asset.  She is great at making you feel comfortable and easy to laugh with.  I'm very glad we are growing stronger in our friendship as we get to know each other again, but of course there's always a part of her I will always know that I played Barbies with. 
     Erica, oh Erica.  Lol.  My sister in law.  We were super tight when her and my brother, Jared, were dating and planning the wedding.  After the marriage, we had our ups and downs and it was very hard on me, to not feel close to her.  I hated it.  But now, literally within the past year we have grown closer than I could ever ask for.  She has been there for me when I've been at my lowest.  I consider her the sister I never had and cherish every moment I have with her.  We've grown too see we have rather alot in common and I think we both love each other very much.  Now we have so much fun together going out, crafting, and sharing our beliefs and faith in Christ it is absolutely wonderful. 
     Each one of these women have touched my heart in different yet similar ways.  I just want to thank each of them for being in my life and making my life better and happier.  I don't ever want to be apart from these wonderful ladies ever again and will do my best and hardest to show them how much I care about them.  They are the sisters I never had and always wanted.  I love them unconditionally, and I hope they do with me as well.  'Cause for real, it sucked not having ya'll around when I pushed you all away.
