Thankful for Friends

This Thanksgiving, we are so very thankful for the relationships we have with the people we love. We are thankful for our family and we are thankful for our friends both near and far. And speaking of friends that are far, we are thankful for these two people:

Kristopher... I love this photo of him because when I see it I can totally hear him laughing. I loved hanging out with him and hearing his laughter. I love hearing his heart (you can too! check out his amazing devotional blog and hear how God is ministering through him!) and I love that he is more than just a friend to us. He is part of our family.

Melissa. I am always thankful for her. I am thankful that I got to spend a long weekend hanging out with her, acting silly, eating various flavors of hershey's kisses, playing games, watching tivo, and simply BEING with her. It had been too long and yet when we saw each other the months disappeared and it was like we had just seen each other the day before. Everything fell right back into our comfortable place and I love that. It reassurred me that, no matter what, our friendship can endure anything. Miles, schmiles. There is no such place as far away.

I am thankful for so many things. But today I am especially thankful for these two.
SQUISH YOUR HEAD! I AM GONNA SQUISH YOUR HEAD!
As an aside, I am also thankful for Facebook, where I have been able, in the last 2 weeks, to reconnect with people I haven't seen in over 15 years. I love technology. :)
