So, I have some FANTASTIC friends. They are my support, my backbone, my quest for power. God has given me two great friends in the last two years and I couldn't be more proud to say so.
Sandy -
She's exceptional! She lets me rattle on about anything I want to, rant about my current crisis, cry when I can't keep the tears from flowing, and just generally...lets me, be me. When I called Sandy two years ago, I told her I needed a change in career. I asked her if she knew of a preschool that would hire someone like me. It just-so-happened that she was in need of an assistant for the following school year. Two weeks after I got the job, I had a really bad day at my job and none of my "friends" seemed to be around to listen to my latest rantings. I called Sandy and she wasn't home either. But I left a message saying "that I hoped I could make some new life-long friendships when I came to work with her". Boy, if I knew then what I know now! I would have made the career switch a long time ago. I love her (and her family) and I couldn't imagine not being able to talk to her. Sandy is smart and is incredible at her job. Did I mention that she has the patience of Job?
Emily - What a self-less superhero! Emily always thinks of everyone around her before she thinks of herself. She loves her children and her husband unconditionally. She loves her family almost to the point that it hurts. She loves her job (which she is very good at) and genuinely loves the children she teaches. I love that she is constantly trying new things. Blogs, coupon shopping, diets, books, hair color...When we met last year (her daughter Ava was in my class), she helped Sandy and I in the classroom. She had great ideas and was always willing to do whatever we needed. She still has that mentality with our friendship. I can count on her for anything!
I couldn't have made it through the last few days without them. They have been my precious angels, watching over me to make sure I made it through. I'll never be able to pay them back for their kindness. I just hope they always know that I'd do it for them...anytime. I love you girls!
STACI!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetheart. Now you have me crying. Listen, I truly believe that God placed us (you, me and Sandy) together b/c he knew that we'd need one another. I can not tell you how happy I am that you are my friend. All I can say is that God is amazing, huh?
I love you and your kids more than you'll ever know. You know that I'd do anything for you----all you have to do is ask.
I truly feel like I've gained 2 sisters since meeting you and Sandy. I am the one who is blessed just to have met you both.
I've been praying for you and asking God to give you peace about the next few days. I know He will. Keep your head up and know that you are doing what is best for your family. Period. Don't let anything sway your focus at all.
I love ya girl! :)
