Every year I like to thank the friends that have been by my side and who go above and beyond.

Teefnee... I never thought that one day we would be as close and as good of friends that we are. Our bond goes beyond friendship. You are my sister and I love you to the end and back again. I can honestly say that you are the friend that knows me the best. I've let you in and shared who I am with you more than I've ever let another friend. You are crazy.. but I love that about you. I know that no matter what you always have my back. Thank you for being such a great friend. So many great memories were made this last year and I know this year will be even better. With everything we have been through together this year just know that there is no other friend I'd rather went through it with.

PIC...My confidant, consultant, co-conspirator.. etc you get the picture. You get my sarcasm and I like yours. I'm truly blessed to have you as a friend. I miss you and all the fun we used to have. I heart you.

Melodie.. I'm so grateful that after all these years, we are still friends. I'm so glad that we started talking more and are in regular contact. I know that wherever life takes us, we will always be friends. Even when we weren't talking as much, I always knew that if I needed you, you would be there. You've been through some of the darkest times with me. I will always be here for you if you ever need me.

My peeps of MROG... You weren't just co-workers, you were my family. I will always hold you close to my heart. When I left there, I didn't just lose out on a job, I lost out on my "fam". But no matter what, I love you guys. There were lots of good times, not-so-good times and everything in between.

My Beetches... Seriously.. I love you guys. I cannot imagine a life where I didn't have you guys as friends. Together, we are crazy, wild and there is never a dull moment. We have a bond that will last a lifetime.

Erica... So glad I met you. I love you and miss you a lot. So many good memories.

Laura & Sasha... Thanks for being such great friends. Always there when I need you and likewise.
 Love you both.

The Koericks... I'm truly blessed to have you guys as a part of my life. Ya'll mean the world to me. You aren't just friends, you are family. Thank you for taking me in as part of your family. I love you :)

KMC... I am so thankful for your presence in my life. I'm glad for the paths that we chose that allowed us to meet. Your friendship has been the greatest gift I've been given in a long time. Thanks for the smiles and laughter. You are one of the best.

And to all of my friends... I love you and even if I didn't list you that doesn't mean you aren't loved.
