It's been what, 22 days since my last blog. Everyone, and by everyone I mean the three people I call best friends who are prolly the only ones who read this, is prolly wondering what my mood's been lately. Most recently, I've been excited! I mean, come on! First I had my Christmas Party for work. Had a blast! Then I exchange gifts with the friends, and let me tell ya, they love me! And then my home life seems to be getting better, so that's always a plus.
Ok, enough of that update crap.
The real reason I'm writting is this. I want to thank my deep, close, and personal friends for a few things, and so I've decided to do it on my blog. (Yes, Jay did inspire me to do this, but the sentiments are completely my own and come from way down deep in my heart where my most precious feelings, thoughts, and memories at kept).
Krysta,
Girl, if I would have been born with a sister, I'd want it to be you. Thank you for all the wonderful things you do for me. You listen to me no matter what, you support me when you believe in what I am doing, and you tell me when you disapprove of what I am doing. You are trully a wonderful person, and I've no doubt in my mind whatsoever that I was moved to Kentucky to meet you. I appreciate that you let me sleep over at your place anytime. I love that your family has welcomed me totally. Like you, your family is so very special to me. Each and every one of them have touched my heart in their own way. From your dad knowing my name to your mom agreeing to letting me stay there, to Mandi fronting some cash for me and coming to lunch with me in a couple of days, to Leigh Ann being so very kind in the mornings when you've left and I have a question, and to Alex who knows that when I see her I'm wanting a hug. The Septer family is full of caring, genuine people, and you fit right in there. Thank you for just always being there for me. You trully are like a sister to me, and I love you deeply.
P.S. Short Girls Rock!
Deb,
What can I say? When you say that now that we're best friends, I'll never get rid of you, I have to tell you that the thought of losing you scares me to death. I couldn't live without you, and when you move to Florida, you just might have a stowaway. You've been there for me dozens of times, and I know I can always count on you. If I need someone to talk to, Deb comes to mind. You've been real sweet to me Deb, and for that you'll never know how much it means to me. Ours is a genuine friendship, and when I'm old and my kids won't bring their kids to come see me and it depresses me, I know I can call you up to cheer me up. And when we're both so old that we have to be in nursing homes, I'm so rooming with you, because I'll prolly forget everyone (Krys and Jay are the exceptions), but I could never forget you. You wonder why I want you to come to church with me, why I'm concerned about your soul, its because I can't imagine Heaven without you. I know I'll be happy and never have another worry and all that wonderful stuff....but I think in a small part of my heart, I'll know you're not there, and it'll sadden me. (too sappy? Nah.)
I love you Deb.
P.S. Oh, and thanks for turning me onto Stargate!
Jay,
In the short time I've known you you've touched me deeper then expected. We've had our differeneces, yes, but in the end, we'd do anything for the other. I've no doubt that if I was trully in need of your assitance, you'd be right there to help me. As you have done before when I've gone through some hard times. Just you listening to me helps, but then you add in the humor you bring to the table and it makes me feel loads better. I have the best time with you when its just me and you and we're shooting pool. You beat me horribly, I'll admit, but its a blast. Ok, I lied. I have an even better time when we're throwing darts because I beat you horribly, but you are such a good sport. That time it was just me and you watching Krys play soccer was a blast because we were both being goofy, with the wave and slow clap (we've got to do that again!), and yet, at times we were serious. I love that about you. We can goof off, and then talk serious the next moment. If I need a friend to get me out of a sour mood, I know you are ready with some silliness for me. I want to also tell you that when I took your pressure that first day you were in the office, it really scared me because I know the stuff that can happen. That's why I made sure you had the best doctor's taking care of you. No second best for my friends! Long paragraph short, I love ya!
P.S. Your new eye looks fantabulous (fantastic + fabulous)!
And a quick note for Pat if she reads this, I love you! You've gone from Deb's mom to my friend, and I had a blast with you in Colorado! Thanks for being my sounding board, even if I don't listen to you at times!
Friends, I know I can be selfish at times, but I want you all to know that your happiness matters most to me. If any of you need anything, I will use all of my power to help in anyway I can.

I'll be the oddball...I didn't cry..but I did get goosebumps! Thanx for such kind words chica, that was all very sweet, I appreciate each note about the fam and was highly impressed you found something about Leigh Ann :-) I know she can be a bit much to deal with at times. I can't imagine what my life would be like if you hadn't worn that christian church the first day of college and sat right behind me...God works in weird ways, but also in the most amazing ways with the most wonderful outcomes! Thanx for being there for me so much over the years, I love ya girl, sorry I don't tell you enuf!
