Freelance Friday - May 4th 2012

Where has life gone?  I missed my Freelance Friday last week because I spent the weekend with some of my best friends in the world. But now, I am getting back on track.
Friendship truly is something that money can not buy.  I am proud to say that my true friends can be counted on two hands...I have been blessed with some of the best friends anyone can ask for.

Saturday my best friend in the whole world made the four hour drive to come to visit me. Kryssie and I have been best friends for 17 years, wow... how time has flown.  In 17 years we have shared laughter, anxiety and tears together. We have live almost next door to each other and over 4 hours apart. No matter where we live..we always find time for each other. 
I had the privileged of sharing many milestones with Krys, She dropped me off for my first year at college ( and we cried like babies when we had to say goodbye), she stood as my maid of Honor with me in my wedding, She was the first phone call after I found out I was pregnant and she was one of the first people I told about the birth of Madilyn (and If she had lived closer I am sure she would have been here with me)
I have watched Krys grow into the incredibly strong and caring person she is today. Not many people will fall in love with not only a man but his incredible little girl also.  Kryssie is the best step mother I have ever seen and both Jessie and Shaun are lucky to have her in her life. I could not imagine the past 17 years without her.

I was once told a great quote about friendship and I believe in my heart that this quote is true;

"Friends grow up....But Never Apart"

As I approach my birthday tomorrow and join the "thirties" I can only hope that I will always remember and cherish the past 17 years, laugh at the crazy stories that made us who we are and hope that going forward we share another 17 years and embark on new challenges and make new stories together.

"Cheers to all the good times past, and Cheers to all the good times to come"

I love her like a sister and am lucky to call her my friend.
