Day 139: 5/19/2014

For an amazing friend (and a great co-worker to boot) that does the little things to show that be cares. Little things like thinking of someone and doing things to make them smile does so much more for the giftee than could ever be known. I am happy and grateful I have amazing friends and a wonderful support structure 

Day 129: 5/9/2014

For knowing your pup is in great hands when you are not able to be with her this weekend. Something as simple as having someone help with watching your pup over a longer weekend is actually a more arduous process than it should be. But getting photo updates throughout the weekend helps with that peace of mind

Day 103: 4/13/2014

Day 71: 3/12/2014

For throwback photos of your cousins sent by my mom. With the advent of technology, I have been able to revisit my past a lot easier than before. I am thankful I grew up with a close knit family and we were actually friends. Afterall, cousins are your first best friends right?

Day 60: 3/1/2014

For coffee shared with a friend, brings about stories otherwise untold. Being able to cross the generations and become friends that are close enough to share stories about our pasts. There's just something magical about watching two lives intersect where they normally wouldn't
