Thankful Wednesday: friends version

I am thankful for ALL of my many friends.  God blessed me w/ lots of them, but these are some specific reasons for the ones I see or talk to weekly...(p.s.  family will be tomorrow...if you fall into that category don't wonder where you're mentioned here) :) (mom)  Oh and these are not in order of best liked!

*Mary- for your unbelievable way w/ children...your acceptance of my son, even when he's crazy and bugs the *h^t out of your daughter, your parenting and your generous and thoughtful friendship
*Diana- for our amazing quick bond w/ our baby girls right there in the middle :)
*Lisa- for your strength as a mom, sister and daughter during all you've been through
*Brooke- for your honesty about yourself and life in general & for your love of all things crafty like me!
*Erin- for your "counseling" me.  For the way you parent your two beautifully smart daughters and your love of my kids!
*Gita- for being my "token"...for our talks on everything and your laugh
*Neva- for your sweetness, thoughtfulness and just plain good hearted kindness
*Brandie- for always being yourself and teaching me that letting your kids express themselves is so much more important than caring about character clothing!...& of course, all of your hippie ways
*Camie- for praying w/ me.
*Carrie- for your passion and your beautiful way in life w/ your kids
*Terri H- for your generosity and extreme creativity
I LOVE my friends! Each of them have so many wonderful qualities...these were just some on each. (if you weren't mentioned, it doesn't mean I don't love you too...I do!)
