My Friend

I wanted to blog today about my friend. Twice I have thought about blogging about her but thought it was a bit hooky but today is the day. I thank God for many things in my life he has blessed me with. Heather is often at the top of the list. Yesterday she gave her testimony and I was so happy she did. She is a woman of grace and pose and as she shared it is so obvious why so many women want to be her friend. People are drawn to her and want to be in her company. Although we are both in are early thirties sometimes I swear we are in our early teens. Heather is one of two people that I laugh with so hard I cry. Last night as I drove us home from what was supposed to be a spiritual evening I found us laughing so hard I thought I was going to have to pull over. I was crying, driving only 20 people would have thought I was drunk. I can call her at any time and it is a pick me up. So as I start my day I thank God that he brought my friend in to my life and gave me this gift of friendship.

Our Anniversary

We celebrated our 13th anniversary last night. (Hallelujah) It made me think of our wedding day. My mother was going through her third divorce and my father on his fourth marriage. Not having any idea what a good marriage should look like, I walked down the asle scared to death. I thought what am I doing. But as scared as I was God had this plain. Now as I look back over the years we have had hard times but I am so happy to say I would do it all again. Over the years we both have learned how to let little things slide and put up with others. We have grown up together, and are in this for the long hall. Bret being in the military has to leave for deployments sometimes, and yes it is hard. But this is the one I choose and you make it through with family and friends. So last night I took us somewhere new for dinner Mr. A’s. It was wonderful. As we talked I said, I can’t think of one couple that we know that is military that is still married to the same people that they were when we got married. On the news they were talking about the high divorce rate in the military. I know it can be hard to be alone, especially with kids. I think many families have this military or not. People travel for work and one spouse is home alone for a few days or weeks. Seven months is the longest Bret has been gone and it was hard. I can say I have never felt closer to God in my life. When you take away your partner and solely rely on God he will never disappoint. He fills me up and never lets go. So as I look forward to my next year of marriage and all that it holds, I pray that God will continue to bless my marriage.

Camera Phone

I need a camera phone. Over the last few years as I have lost, broke or drove off with my phone on the roof of my car, I’ve always gone and upgrade and got the nicer phone and gave my husband the big free one. So this last December when his phone finally broke I upgrading his and he got a camera phone. He does not need one I do. As I have had several reason
1. Buying a purse I needed my friends input, if I had one click done
2. Trying to find something to wear for my big lip sync concert (Easter) needed some advice
3. My friend having bad day needed to send funny picture
4. Swimming, a man on side of pool with see through Speedo on doing yoga almost choked on pool water needed proof no one would believe me
5. My friend could answer question, do these make me butt look big

So I am just waiting for my phone to die or to be dropped. One side note the only way any of these will work is if my buddy gets one to, so H2 get a camera phone.
