Jennifer and Brooke, thank you for taking precious moments from your days to read my blogs, leave such awesome comments that either offer an ear and a shoulder, lift me up or put a smile on my face. You two (it must be an LDS thing) are always able to look beyond the madness that often fills your lives and find the words I need to hear.
Jennifer, you inspire me. I see where you've been, where your at, and the trails that you're going through and it amazes me. You are an awesome woman, wife and mother. Brooke, you are so young, yet wise beyond your years. Life hasn't always been easy for you and it could have been so easy for you to become another negative statistic, but you chose to be better than any situation could dictate. You cherish everything in life and share that amazing sentiment with everyone you meet, often not even through words. You're an awesome young woman who is beautiful beyond measure, and worthy of everything our Heavenly Father has for you.
Thank you both for the comments, phone calls and lifting me up when I was feeling down. Now, in my all too often silly cheesiness, as Josh Groban has said many a times,
you raise me up.
*key music here*
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
Okay so now that I'm not just singing the chorus in my head, but am looking at the lyrics I think maybe this is more of a God thing. ;) But you, you two, the chorus does apply. I thank you both.

Friends are here because we care, its as simple as that. I'm glad Derrick is home for his little bit of R&R, and I hope Brandon's trip is amazing.

Aww you are such a sweetheart. I saw this after I had read all your other new posts haha, so thanks for posting your blogs, more often than you know you are an inspiration to me. I hope that I can turn out to be half as amazing as you are :) thanks for the kind words, you are a great friend yourself. I like the quote "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." because when times get hard, you always will have a shoulder to lean on :)
Just remember, that when you feel like you have hit rock bottom, the only way to go from there is Up, that always helps me look at it differently. <3 ya
Oh and I agree, more time spent ahem ..Together the better hahaha.
