I'm thankful for wonderful friends. Being here in Indiana for school, it can be difficult to be away from our family at times. We've been blessed to develop friendships with some wonderful people here. In our home away from home, they've become our family away from family.
We celebrate birthdays together, we conquered canning together, we have Easter Egg hunts together, babysit each other kids, borrow tools and equipment from each other, have playgroups together, the list goes on and on.
Through husbands on military deployment, deaths in the family, new babies born, and medical procedures for our kids, we're here for each other. It's nice to have a good support system and people I know I can count on to help us when we need it. Our friends invite us to fun things, like a Halloween Doughnut Party.
Or there was the time this summer when we went to the Zoo and had a picnic lunch and rain started pouring down on us just as we finished eating.
We eventually ditched the pavilion to run to our cars only to have the rain come down even harder. Even though we were all soaked, we made sure all the kids made it to the cars.
Through rain or sun, we have some pretty awesome friends. I'm thankful for them.

It's so nice to find really good friends. Sometimes it can be hard so I'm glad you've found such a good group out there. Also, when I first saw that picture from Halloween I was like, "What is up with her hair!?" Good thing it was Halloween so you have an excuse.
