I've recently been reminded about how precious it is to have such great family and friends. We've been blessed with such supportive and loving families who would give us the world if they could:) I'm also thankful for the great life long girlfriends I met at college. We are still so close 10 years out and I know these will be friends for a lifetime. I had the chance to see my 'bestie' this weekend. A few of my girlfriends had planned to have a girls weekend and drive up to Canada and see her new home (she met a Canadian while she was working as a dolphin trainer in Bermuda and ended up marrying him and moving to Canada! Good thing he's a great guy:) but unfortunately, her grandmother passed away and she and her husband drove down this way to be with family instead. I still got to see her, even though just for a short time at the wake and funeral.
Sometimes you meet someone and you just click. I met Dena my freshman year of college and man, she is something special. We had 4 very fun years at school together. She is the kind of friend who really wants the best for you. I'm so blessed to have her in my life and everytime we get together, it's like no time has passed and we can share everything with each other. She is now pregnant with her first and I am so happy for them, I just wish we lived closer.
I'm also very thankful to have family close by. My parents live about an hour away and my mom never thinks twice about making the drive to visit on her day off. We had a fun day today walking at the beach and the sun was just beautiful! It must have been over 40 degrees and we went at just the right time to see the seals sun bathing on the island. Then we usually enjoy a lunch out which was such a treat today.....fresh fish.
God has provided a wonderful support system for Jim and I. He is good.
