FRIENDS

i decided to change up this page a bit (if you happen to have seen the other page).  friends are a funny thing. they come into your life; some stick around for a long time, some for a short season.  and you never seem to know which ones will be the lifelong ones and which will just be there for a little while and then gone.  with that in mind, this page could be in constant flux - but i wanted to mention some names of folks that have meant a lot to me - past and present. i really am blessed with many wonderful people in my life.
here are some of them:

my family
mom, dad, dorothy & tim, charles & kim, cecilia & jeff
my family will always be my friends.
i love them all dearly and enjoy most the times we laugh uncontrollably together.

friends
jeremy
a unique and special friend of mine is jeremy.
he's one of those rare people that happen into your life
that fully and completely understand you without having to try.
we're two peas in a pod.
he encourages and inspires me to grow through his honesty and kindness and strength of character.

tracie and trilisa
tracie and trilisa have really been a backbone to me over the past couple of years.
i enjoy the mutual sharing we have and am grateful to them both for their firmness with me
when they know i'm heading down the wrong path.
i know them to be women of God and respect their opinions and look up to them in many ways.

quin, jesse & amanda, joel, steve, matthew, diane, cassandra, mary, karen
these are just a mere handful of other people in my life that have meant a lot
and have been really special to me in one way or another.
they are people i enjoy talking with and learning from and getting to know and being around.
some are near, some are far, but none are ever far from my heart and fond memories
