That's what friends are for

I haven't been feeling very well the last couple of days, and to be honest, I'm not feeling that great right now, either.  But I wanted to take a minute and do my post for today.  I'm so thankful for my friends. I can think of many friends throughout my life that have had a tremendous impact on me. I have had several conversations with friends this last week that have been both uplifting and fun.  I'm thankful for their companionship, their compassion, and, occasionally, their commiseration!  I love that I have friends that I can pick up with even after months of not seeing or talking to each other.  I love that there are some that I could talk to every day and never get tired of them.  I love working together. Isn't it always so much more fun to do a project with a friend than by yourself?  I love laughing together - a hearty belly laugh with my girlfriends is always welcome. I'm thankful for all the heart to heart talks about things such as the gospel, parenting, and marriage.  I often gain so much insight from my friends.  I'm totally going to copy my awesome sister-in-law's most recent post and list a few fun memories I have with various friends (none of which are nearly as cool as Laura's, but oh well)!
...swimming in your backyard pool
...spending recess looking for "reebok" tracks in the snow because reeboks were the coolest shoes ever
...playing tennis at the high school
...walking together - somehow always past some boy's house that one of us had a crush on at the time
...taking the country music challenge you issued, and finding out that you were right - I did like it!
...Lone Eagle Resort Senior trip
...pushing each other through the Smith's grocery store in shopping carts
...body surfing and wave jumping - heck, the whole beach trip, every time!
...painting rooms.  And painting them again.  And again.
...watching "Deceived" when no one else was home and scarying ourselves to death!
...sewing days
...walking at Wilson Farm Park
...cooking/baking days
...Popple talk
...craft days
...rolling down hills as fast as we can
...ice blocking
...puddle jumping
...Project: Organization
...staying up waayyyy too late talking every time we're together, vowing to be better next time, and then repeating our late nights
Oh, so many good memories.  What would I do without my friends?  I am so grateful that they accept and love me for who I am - even with all of my imperfections and oddities!
