Today I am thankful for my friends.  Growing up my parents were mainly focused on our family and didn’t have time for lots of their own friends.  As I’m finding my way in this world and figuring out what is important to me I have found that friends are incredibly important to me.  I love the friends that I have known since kindergarten, and the ones from college that I am lucky enough to take trips with and spend holidays with (looking at you Pikes!!).  I am also thankful for the friends Randy and I have made as a marrie couple.  I love each wave of friendship and I love keeping them in my life.  I cherish the time I spend with these friends whether it is with our families, or girl time, or couple time.
