We have the most amazing friends. Tonight, they threw us a going-away party at the park. I didn't cry (as much as I thought I might) because I know I'll see them all again soon. We'll still be close enough to visit for birthday parties and special events. Although we'll no longer share a city, a home church, or daily trips to the park, these ladies will always be my friends. They gave me a scrapbook today, and I've already gone through it at least a dozen times (it's late, but I'm having trouble sleeping tonight!).Miss Mandi, you always make me smile. I love hanging out with you. Whenever we get together, I find myself laughing! Thank you for your energy!
Amy, you're so much fun. I love that you're on the go (almost) as much as I am. I know I can always count on you when I need to vent about life as a "work widow"! Thank you for your dedication to our moms' group; you're such a blessing!
Alicia, I'm always learning from you. You have such a peace about you. I admire the quiet manner in which you raise your kids, your beautiful voice in worship, and your fashion sense! Thanks for your friendship.
Tiffany (A.K.A. Superwoman), you're an awesome girl. I'm always amazed at how much you can accomplish -- with your (almost) 4 wonderful kids, your role as a pastor's wife, and all that you do for your friends. I think the world of you.
Janet, you were my first friend here. I will always cherish the many dinners and conversations we shared. We'll have to get together and shop again soon!
Gaylee, I can hardly believe we've only been friends for a year now! I feel like I've known you my whole life. I love your optimism and your ability to see the best in people. I know I can always count on you to hang out at Chuck E. Cheese or just to listen to me rant over the phone. You're one in a million!
Lesley, what can I say? You & Greg introduced us to our church almost 5 years ago. I don't want to think about where we'd be without you! We've grown so much in our walk with Christ, because you were brave enough to invite us to church! Thank you. In the years since, you've become one of my very closest friends. I know I can always count on you for anything.
Ladies, I love you! I have been so blessed by your friendships! I won't say "goodbye"; I'll just say, "See ya soon!"
