FRIENDS

I PROMISE TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAVE AND THEN EVEN MORE.

THIS IS A PROMISE I AM SO EXCITED TO MAKE. SO HAPPY. NOTHING COULD SEEM MORE PERFECT. YOU TRULY HAVE BECOME MY BEST FRIEND.

A GIRLFRIEND OF MINE BLOGGED ABOUT BEST FRIENDS AND HOW MANY WE ACTUALLY HAVE IN A LIFETIME. ISN'T THAT THE TRUTH?

FRIENDS FROM CHILDHOOD. FRIENDS FROM THE PAST. FRIENDS WE EMAIL, FRIENDS WE CALL. SOME BRIEF SOME THAT LASTED FOR YEARS. OUR SIBLINGS. OUR PARENTS. OUR CHILDREN. SO MANY.

IT'S ODD NOW, MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT I ONCE CONSIDERED "MY WORLD" WILL NOT BE AT MY WEDDING. WHY? WELL, I GUESS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THE TRAGIC EVENTS IN MY LIFE REALLY PULLED OPEN THE CURTAIN TO REVEAL WHO REALLY ARE MY FRIENDS AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I MAY NOT HAVE AS MANY AS I ONCE THOUGHT I HAD BUT THOSE THAT I DO HAVE MEAN "THE WORLD" TO ME, ARE INCREDIBLE, AMAZING PEOPLE, AND ARE TRUE BLESSINGS THAT I THANK GOD FOR EVERY DAY. (I GUESS IT HELPS TO BE INVITED TOO! LOL)

I'M OKAY WITH IT NOW. YOU KNOW.

WE HAVE PARTS OF ALASKA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NORTHERN MICHIGAN, COLORADO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND SO MANY MORE THERE WITH US IN SPIRIT! CHEERING US ON! WHOOPING THERE CONGRATS! AND WE LOVE YOU ALL!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT.

...AND FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE JOINING US... WOW! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

YOU ALL TRULY ARE A PART OF WHO WE ARE!
