Happy Happy Birthday

I am surrounded by the most amazing women. I honestly don’t know how I got so lucky. I really don’t.

Megan celebrated her birthday last week and I wasn’t able to make it since I had company. So I took her out for lunch to catch up. All 3 of our boys are the same age and they just adore each other. It makes nurturing this friendship a piece of cake.

Megan has many qualities that I love but the most impressive is her ability to serve at just the right time in your life, all the while taking away the guilt you feel for dealing with your current trial.

I have no idea how she does it! Since she moved here, she’s helped at least 3 people during a major trial. Those are just the ones I know about. Naturally, I didn’t hear it from her, I heard it from my sweet friends she’s swooped in and carefully taken care of. She oozes acceptance, love, and adoration. I’m hoping her qualities rub off on me as I’m secretly a student of hers. {{shhh. don’t tell}}

It’s the birthday boom as it was also Chanda’s celebration. I got her a gift certificate to Simply Silhouettes. I can’t wait to see what she gets with it!

Chanda is also a special person in my life. She fills my void of everything girly and creative. She genuinely appreciates my passions without feeling like they divide us if she doesn’t share all of them. I can be completely myself with Chanda with out judgement or jealousy. We have a mutual respect for each other and can voice our opinions on everything openly. Plus we straight up have fun when we’re together. We can be silly, crazy, serious, vent, and it’s ok.

Chanda is a great example of how a friend should be. I’m also hoping her qualities rub off on me as I’m constantly amazed at her ability to adapt and accept people for who they are.

Thank you Megan and Chanda for being such amazing people. May you know that the world is truly a brighter place because you’re in it! {{hugs}}
