Growing Up

Growing up is hard to do. Things seem to change in what seems like the blink of an eye and in reality they are all changing constantly it just takes us to open our eyes to see it.

Being pregnant you start to see changes. People you hung out with, those you didn't, your conversation, your family outings, your music, your concerns, your food intake, and so much more. Granted I was never one who did a whole lot, but I at least got out more.

I pray that those who I may have forgotten, insulted, made upset, or just ignored as of late I am sorry. I don't want to lose those amazing friends I have because of my lack of memory. I want you to know how much you truly mean to me.

Like my last post I need to put forth more effort to those who mean the most to me. Some of my friends know we don't talk daily but I have forgotten to talk monthly and I am sorry. I want to know what is going on, I want to know what bothers you, makes you smile, etc.

I have heard - It is a two way street - I get that, but if I fail on my side what does that say of me? So, this is both an apology to those I have neglected and a promise to do better.

I will put forth the effort. It may come in just the simple form of a text, a card, a message, or a phone call, but it will be something to let you know I am thinking of you and love you.

If I fail let me know. If I forget let me know.... but please be patient with me and know I love you with all my heart and want nothing more than to remain friends until we are old and gray.

So - there ya have it ladies and gents a pregnant ladies promise to her friends! Friends - I love you and will be in touch!!!!!

Friends

I had a class last night about friendship within your relationship and I took it one step farther and put the information into my actual friendships.

I have some great friends. I know there are times we won't talk for about 2 weeks but once the talking starts it is as though we haven't missed a beat. I love that. I then went even further and went to those who are in my church and have, through the years, grown to be some of the best people in my life.

I look at how I am with all these people and noticed the one constant. Both them and myself make an effort. It isn't one sided. If there is something wrong we both acknowledge it and fix the issue.

If we are down and out we contact the other for support. I know it doesn't seem like much to get the random I am thinking of you text, message, or call... but it means the world to me.

So, in a nutshell thank you for being my friend.

Got Away

I heard a song on the radio while I was driving to work. It is about the one who got away. Once the song was over the DJ said he had to disagree with the singer because if those get aways stuck he would never have found his true love.

I started to think - am I the one who got away for anyone? I highly doubt that, but I think God was doing great things when he guided me to my husband. Sometimes he and I may not see eye to eye, but every day I am blessed.

He makes me smile every day. (including those bad days) He is always helping me, he cooks, he cleans, and he watches girlie movies. In all honesty he is my best friend.

I hope he knows that without him I am simply a woman. With him I am a loved woman.

Just take a moment and think of your spouse. Tell em you love them.
And here is the song.....
