We moved to Charlotte in 2006... I'm not going to lie; as excited as I was to move, it took a really long time for God to bring me a great core group of friends. Now that God has brought some amazing, quality people into my life, I just have to tell you how incredibly thankful I am for all of you! You put up with my insane crazy sense of humor, and it's not always appropriate. I think I need a filter.
I'm finding out daily who my true friends are; the friends who have my back, the friends that are truly concerned about what is going on in my life, checking in on me, and just showing unconditional love. Some of these friends have been a part of my life since forever, some are new. But, I'm BEYOND thankful for all of you. You're such a blessing to me in more ways than you'll never know. Even if I don't talk to you every day or see you very often, you most definitely hold a special place in my heart.
Without going into too much detail, for privacy sake, we've had some major medical issues hit our family recently, and when it comes to love, encouragement, and prayer, my "real" family and friends have been BEYOND supportive; I know that I can call you, cry on you, vent, just let it all out. It's hard to be strong all the time and some days I really just need to wallow in it, you know? I need to let out the good, ugly cry. I'm so thankful for the friends and family that allow me to do this, don't look down on me... I'm not always looking for the perfect response or solution to my problems... just a listening ear and support and prayer are all I'm really looking for. So yeah... I'm thankful for the people that I've waited SO LONG for God to bring to me, and the people that I've been lucky enough to have part of my life for years. I truly cherish and treasure you with all of my heart. This "collage" is in no way inclusive of everyone, so please don't feel offended if you're not here. Know that you're loved. You just need to make your pictures more stalk-able.
Here are a few of the people - friends and family - that mean the most to me in this season... thank you for allowing me into your lives. You're the best. I love you.
