today i am thankful for my friends, i (we) have many but today i am especially thankful for...

 *"my best friend" Deidre!

as i look back, i remember when we met  .. 'on a mission trip '

(. ... is that tomatoes?)... lol

then i look at all we have done together... regardless if it is something serious such as a Bible Study or just a fun day shopping.

          .... it usually includes lots of laughter

  (latest ...being a trip to S.Park

      .. i think i laughed more than you did...OK i know i did )

                                                                                                                                           everyone needs a best friend,

   one who loves the Lord,

       one that will be honest and tell you things that you may not want to hear,

         one that encourages you

            one to have fun and  laugh with!

i am blessed to have a best friend like you!

 i love you Deidre!
