Friends

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though she knows that you are slightly cracked."

"Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life"

"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."

Today I went to lunch with an old friend. (She is my age so of course I'm not saying that she is old! You know what I mean.) We were in the same married ward at the University of Utah. She was sitting in front of me in Sacrament meeting the first time we went to church. She was nibbling on crackers because of the morning sickness she was experiencing with her first pregnancy. We spent a lot of time together as young married couples. My most embarrassing moment in my whole life even happened at their house. (Hi Darren) We don't see each other much anymore so it sure was fun to catch up.

Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with a friend that lived three houses from me growing up. The last time I spoke with her was when she called me after Eric died. Last week her brother died. It's too bad that life gets so busy that it takes a tragedy to reconnect.

I have been blessed with such wonderful friends throughout my life. I am so grateful for each one of you and everything that you have done (and still do!!) for me. I am one lucky girl!!
