I have AMAZING friends. I find myself surrounded by friends who truly care about me and my daughters. Friends who would do anything for me. I have friends who would even kill these TEXAS SIZED TREE ROACHES which are so common. ICK! In the past few years, I have have really learned what the TRUE meaning of friendship is. I believe anyone who has gone thru a move (to another state), a break up or a divorce really learns the true meaning of friendship very quickly. Ten years ago, I moved to Texas from Illinois..not knowing a single soul. Sure, I moved here and made "work friends" but really had no REAL friends that I could go out to dinner with, talk to or hang out with. I found myself surrounded by wives of my husband (at the time) and had nothing in common with any of them except watching the guys play softball and drink beer (and tons of it).



Since my divorce, needless to say, I do not speak with any of those wives who claimed to be friends with me. In this past 2 years, I have made some AMAZING friends....friends who are like a family to me. I am so grateful to have so many friends surrounding me who are just as loving and caring as I am. I am so blessed to have this circle of friends...you all know who you are! I love each of you and thank you for being the amazing friends that you are...
