Day 20 - Laughter      

Two things.  I'm thankful for date nights. The Husband and I are on our way to eat a late dinner together now.  We very rarely have one of these nights, and I'm always so thankful when we get to have this time alone together.  It's really because of my parents that we get to have these evenings. Thank you so much, Mom and Dad, for staying with the usually-sleeping kiddos while we're away. They love you, and so do we! 

Today was a GORGEOUS day.  I wish I could have spent more of it outside! Day 20 : The twentieth of my Thirty Days of Thankfulness posts is focused on friends . Besides The Husband, my best bud Kelli is my closest friend.  We've known each other since sixth grade; that means we've known each other for over 18 years .  We are SO old.   We know so much about each other (bad and good), and she has been there for me at almost every major event in my life.   I will NEVER forget how she drove hours to be with us in the hospital, how she held my hand, hugged me close, and wished aloud that she could do something, anything to remove the physical and emotional pain when we lost Hadley.  She is such a dear friend, and I really can talk to her about anything.  I think and hope she feels the same!  Don't you think we should plan some sort of fabulous trip to celebrate our twentieth year of friendship, haha?!  We deserve it for persevering through...
