My Fan Club

This blogging is really new to me and I'm undecided at this point if I'm committed enough to keep doing it. This is kind of a funny thing. As I was checking my blog the other day...I noticed I had some comments from people named Ricki, Desi, and Lori. I thought to myself "Isn't that funny??" Those are names of my friends....what is the chance that 3 people with those names would leave comments on my blog? Come to find out they ARE my friends, Ricki, Desiree and Lori. I hadn't told anyone that I was blogging yet. I wasn't trying to keep it a secret. But since this started my life has been crazy busy!! And honestly, when I slow down in the evening, this was the last thing on my mind.

To Ricki....You are the best!! You are the most committed person I know!! When you say you are going to do something....you see it through to the bitter end. You see things as "black/white". Some may fault you on that....but that is a trait that I admire most in you. I wish I could speak in confidence the way you can. You are the one I go to when I need perspective on things. I get really bent out of shape sometimes (like this week!!) easily and you always help me to see all the sides of issues!!! You and I share quite a bit ... from family matters to church to school...and beyond!! Thank you for your deep, committed,and loyal friendship!! Oh...and on those National Boards....you are going to make it!!! You are an inspiration to me!!

To Lori....You have added much to my life!! I like the fact that no matter what....every morning you have a smile on your face. You genuinely love your kids and you get personally involved in their lives as they become your students. How many ideas have I "stolen" from you and you never seem to mind!! Thank you for introducing me to the world of "Cato". You've helped me in the way of wardrobe among other things!!! Thank you for always being willing to drop everything to help or listen!!

To Desiree....Can you believe it's been 10+ years now that we've been friends?? I know you've been through alot in those years...and at times you are still dealing with that stuff....but I've seen you change. Change is good too!! I never thought you would leave PK and move on up....but I told you whenever you were ready....you'd never look back....and you haven't!!! You truly know how to empathisize with others. What a great quality!! You stick up for your friends and you are always there to support them. You can be very self-Less and I do appreciate that about you.

You guys are great!! Though all of our paths have crossed at Justus-Tiawah....we've been through lots of stuff....and we're still working together....I think we've proved that we are not just "school friends"....we're FOREVER friends. Those are the BEST kind EVER!!!! I always remember to thank God everyday that HE brought you to me!! So, thanks for being in my fan club!!!
