Thank You For Being a Friend

That song came out the year I was born and the Golden Girls have been using it ever since! But, speaking of "Golden Girls," I got to spend a little time with some of my favorites recently. These women are just awesome and I don't know how I got so lucky to meet them 10 years ago! It's really probably because Heavenly Father knew I would need them. We have known each other through the birth of almost all of our 16 children, lots of new jobs, houses, hair colors, etc. To quote another song, "I get by with a little help from my friends." These are the girls who've seen me at my worst and help me be my best. Love you ladies!


We decided it was time for a girlfriend picture retake. The original below was five years ago, and is looking a bit dated. I'm sure that has nothing to do with us getting older. Obviously we still like pink... :)

I was so honored to participate. Thank you for eloquently expressing how I feel also.

Isn't it funny that we are standing in the same order? Weird.

After living with you for a month I can attest that you do have wonderful friends! I still dream about that pumpkin cheesecake that Jen made you for your birthday!

This post makes me think of my Iowa girls and miss them even more...I have hope that I will have some Connecticut girls before too long :)

AWWWWW!!!!! I love you ladies so much! You are all so beautiful and such great examples! I feel blessed to have you in my life!

Wow, that picture is a stunner, as are the faces in it. Just lovely. Isn't it funny how quickly 5 years can become dated? Good girlfriends are one of life greatest gifts.
