Ugh, I can't stand it but know that God will bless you for being obedient. Sometimes your greatest growth in the Lord is at the time you feel so lonely. I love you so much and I hate that things are difficult right now. Here's my list of why I am SO thankful for you and why I love (and miss!!!) you so much!!<br /><br />1. You're the best friend anyone could ask for. Someone I can be so real around and someone who accepts me for me.<br />2. You make me laugh. All the time. Remember that wedding when you couldn't figure out how to turn the camera on? It still makes me laugh. :)<br />3. You always know the right thing to say. Ya know, like telling me that you see a shark while we were hundreds of feet in the air parasailing. :) For real though, you do.<br />4. I can shop with you from sunrise to sunset.<br />5. You're GORGEOUS. So gorgeous, you can't even tell you have split ends.<br />6. You're an amazing wife and mommy!<br />7. You have a creative eye that anyone and everyone would long for. <br />8. You're always able to do anything for anyone. So selfless.<br />9. You can always cheer me up. <br />10. I know that no matter how far away you are from me, we can pick back up like we saw each other yesterday.<br /><br />Seriously, I can't wait to fly back up and just hang out on the couch all day drinking coffee and chatting. Soon!!!
