Our Life & Times

(Konnor in the middle on his adoption day with our friends' children, Chance and Brooke)

Friends come and go, some come back after they've been gone, and some friends were never friends at all. For a big part of my adult life I thought that since I was married I didn't need friends in my life anymore. I didn't have time, they didn't have time, whatever the case may be, I sure was wrong! I wouldn't say I have one BEST friend, but many GOOD friends, and maybe even one or two CLOSE friends. (Ok, maybe that's not entirely accurate. I have a BEST friend that I haven't seen in years that means the moon to me and although we missed a
large chunk of each other's lives, I sure hope we never do that again!!!!) Anyway, what was I rambling on about??? :-) Oh yeah, I am realizing that friends are important and I feel so much better now that I have people that I can lean on and cry to and complain to, etc., etc., etc. and they don't think I am TOO crazy or hopeless. (Or maybe they do, but they don't say so 'cause it could hurt my feelings!) I see people I know that are SO CLOSE with their own family, such as sisters and cousins. I think that's great and I sure do envy them. I would give anything to have that closeness with my family. I would give anything to have that closeness with Brian's family, but instead I lean on my friends.
