Thank God for girlfriends

I had a post all planned out for tonight - Cheeky, fun and diet related. Then, after an interesting day at work I decided to go out to dinner with a friend of mine and our conversation made me decide to write about my girlfriends.

While we were at dinner we were talking about people that we admire and some of the amazing women we work with. I realized that I don't tell my girlfriends (enough) how much I appreciate, admire and love them.

I hate to name names in my blog, especially when I don't give you a heads up, so watch out for your initials.

L.Z. - I am SO glad that I took the job at LPS. Not only has it been an interesting learning/working experience but it led me to you. You have listened to me gripe about nonsense and understood my anxiety. You allow me to wear my heart on my sleeve without judgment and I am so glad that we met. Thanks for the amazing conversation tonight!

J.W. - I have known you forever, and I think because of that I don't tell you often enough (if ever) that I am so proud of you. I totally admire you and all the hard work you do. Not only in your professional life, but with your running and your stamina and your desire to keep going. I know that sometimes things get tough for you (trying to juggle all the awesomeness that you do), but I think you are amazing and I look up to you. I also think its effing awesome when they out your picture in those newspapers. I love you!

S.C. - Man, am I so glad we became friends. You have been so grounding for me the past few years. I feel like you get me. I know that no matter what I say or do you will accept me for it. You have always been honest with me and you have always told me what I need to hear when its most needed. You are incredibly strong and you have some totally admirable qualities. I love you!

D.W. - You are amazing. For as long as I have known you you have supported me and helped me along all my life trials and tribulations. I know we joke, but I am so glad you are "so girly" it allows my inner giddy girl to come out when its needed. You have also been incredibly (above and beyond) supportive of this blog and the changes I have been trying to make, and I can't even express how much that means to me.

C.B. - I miss you like whoa. However, no matter the distance or how long we go without talking I know that I can pick up the phone and start off from where we left off. You have always looked out for me (even if it meant telling my mom on me and getting me in trouble) and I am so thankful to have such an amazing friend in you.

Seesters - I love you guys so much. I really could not have asked for cooler or better sisters. I know that no matter what I can always talk to you, about anything.

To all my Girlfriends - I am sorry that I did not single you out. But believe me I am thinking about you. I would not be who I am today and who I will grow into tomorrow without all of you. You have been my rocks, the loves of my life and most of all my amazing girlfriends.

Feeling overwhelmed by grateful-ness (if thats possible).

Love
