Friends Are Friends for Life

I have been very blessed in life to have such great friends. I have always felt important to and cherished by so many loving, sweet people. It's a feeling that can not be beat. Well, my dear friend, Erica, is no exception. I'll love her always and for many reasons, but let's just talk about our latest visit...
Since the Ballards moved in July, any time spent together is precious and well-planned! Erica and I have been talking about this visit for MONTHS now. We were going to get pedicures, go to the Festival of Lights, let our boys play and just generally enjoy each other's company. Well, little Grayson changed plans for us, but Erica didn't let it affect the time we would spend with each other.
She came straight to the hospital to meet my sweet boy as soon as she got in town. I love that she was here for his birth (well, nearly). On Saturday, she brought the pedicure to me. I don't think the nurses had ever seen someone getting a pedicure while in the hospital, but it was great!!! Now that I know she's so talented, I'm never paying for one again! :)
After we arrived home, she brought me chocolate chip muffins (I had been wanting one for a long time) and spent the afternoon chatting with me. Mostly about how hormonal I was!
Monday morning, we had brunch with the Ballards, Bibby and Tippi. Even though they were leaving soon, I enjoyed every second of their visit. And I just cherish this friendship so much. I love each of my friends because (whether they know it or not) they have taught me something special about how to live my life. I see in each of them a wonderful quality and I hope I can apply that quality to my own life. Love you all and hope you are having a wonderful Christmas and New Year's!
