FRIENDS!

Last night we had a "leftover" party. A bunch of our friends brought over their Thanksgiving leftovers and we had dinner together. It was so much fun just sitting around the table and being together. Aaron and I are so blessed to have these special people in our lives and we treasure each one of them and their amazing friendship. We all "do life" with each other and in many ways have become family. We celebrate birthdays and holidays, help decorate each others houses, go to church together, play poker together and even do service work with each other. We root for each other's teams even when we don't want to and sit through many football games on pins and needles! We babysit each other's kids and even bring them home when early morning "throwing up" occurs. We take part in career counseling as well as marriage counseling at times. From moving days and hospital trips to organizing pantries and tough love when we need a little push, we are always there for each other. Always! I love every one of them!
Having true friends that you can live life together with is such a blessing.
Friends are the family that you get to choose!
