Creating a friendship.

Whitney's duck. Picture taken by her big brother.

 Yesterday was awesome.A friendship is stronger.I LOVED the deep conversation.I LOVED the sincere laughter.I LOVED an honest response.I LOVED the sense of belonging that comes with new understanding and commonality.Creating a friendship,like drawing on a page.Where the page was once blank,there is a new creation.A relationship,that enlightens that brings joy.I didn't want to say goodbye.She spoke to my heart.I understand her. Thank you my friend.

Friend Love.

I haven't blogged much lately,

I've made many friends here.

Picture from her blog

Sweetheart.

She's the reason I fell

even more in love 

with music.
She's my dear friend.

She's a keeper.

She just shared some thoughts here,

and I agree.

Blogging has evolved and I've 

thought about where I stand.

I want to blog

to have a voice,

to relate to others in the world, 

to share what I believe.

I have another friend.

Elizabeth.

my BFF

   Laura has been my buddy for 11 years.She confides in me.She builds me up.She is hilarious. Sweet.Beautiful.Down to earth.Humble-hearted.Loyal.Motivated.
....In August we did a triathlon.I watched my friend step up and sign in at 300 lbs.Even when she was surrounded by lean athletes, with fancy bikes, and tri-suits.I was scared to swim.I hadn't prepared all that well.She was a champ.She helped me get through the swim.(Half way through I panicked. I had to ask for help) I helped her with the bike. We cried and talked our way through the race. We finished together. Next August,we're gonna do the race again.She might beat me.She's a real go getter.She's already lost 40.So by then she'll be a lean machine.She's my inspiration.Everyone needs a friend like my Laura.

Thanks friend!!

Marilyn and Me

I got my music last week.
I listen to my CDs over and over.
I dance for my kids when Blue Skies plays.

You have blessed my life
with your music,
your friendship,
and your kind service in my time of heartache.

I just wanted everyone to know that I think you're
Wonderful.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Turn Back Tuesday

My mom's Funeral- August 2008

I call these beautiful girls my friends. In a dark hour of my life there was light because so many were there to remind me I was not alone.
This summer I'm going to go back to Rexburg for some good times with these girls! I'm so excited to remember the memories we made together, make new ones, and just laugh together again. I love you guys!!!

I love you sista friend.

If you don't know my friend Laura you are missing out in life. I just got off the phone with her after a good LONG talk and I feel sooooo much better. She has totally inspired me to get on my knees more often and go to the Lord with more of my cares. We talked about so many things today and the best part is, it was deep and meaningful, it was like going to Women's Conference!!!
We talked out loud about our struggles and our triumphs we got it all out in the open so we can figure it out I guess. Its like free therapy to have such a sweet, loving friend. And the girl is so good. She radiates the gospel. She's been away from the town I live in but moved back the week of my mom's funeral- talk about a miracle in my life. She talks to me like my mom would.

Some things about Laura:

:: She cut's hair and is GOOD (if you need your haircut, I'll hook you up)


:: She has beautiful hands and feet. Her nail beds are to die for!!


::She has a beautiful voice, a beautiful face and a beautiful ♥.



:: You cannot meet her and walk away not liking her.



:: She is on a journey to conquer her weight for good, and I honor her courage and faith.



::She is sweet and brings out the best in me and others.



::She is down to earth and has an infectious laugh.



::She is thoughtful and savors deep relationships with people.



::She is chatty and adorable. I just LOVE her.




::Her faith is inspiring.



:: When I think of the 13th article of faith. I think of her, she seeks after good things and tries to weed out all the nasty stuff in this world.

"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow
the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things,
we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all
things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or
praiseworthy, we seek after these things."


I ♥ you!! Thanks for the wonderful, enlightening talk!!
