Happy 40th Birthday

40 years ago today, a very special person in my life was born. I didn't know her for the first 10 of her years but once we met, we became instant friends and were inseperable. The day we met I will never forget and I am so thankful that she has been apart of my life for 30 years. Through good times and bad, she never gave up on me and has always been there for me. She is an amazing mother and a great example as a person. When we were little kids, we dreamed of living next door to each other and raising our kids together. I am fortunate enough to say that in some respect this did happen. We don't live next to each other and lately haven't seen enough of each other but our kids were together when they were little all the time. Even though I don't see her much, that doesn't mean that she is not always close to me. I know that no matter what, she is just a phone call away and would drop what ever she was doing to come over if I needed her to and has done just that for me and I would do the same for her.

Happy Birthday Neece, I hope you have a wonderful day and know that I am thankful each and every day for you being brought into my life because friends like you don't come around very often.

5th Grade Graduation

This was Lexi's 5th Grade Graduation Dance with her best friend Rachel who is standing next to her in the Kindergarden Graduation picture below. Wow, how much they have changed and grown in to beautiful young ladies. I cannot believe that they start middle school in the fall.
