Did I forget you?

Paul says that I might have forgotten a few key people in my last post. I didn't intentionally do it, but I did wonder if my post was getting too long. I am not known for word-E posts. =) So, here are the peeps that Paul says that I must add to my list of awesomeness!

Debra was once my coworker. She has 3 daughters that are my similar age, and she treated me just like one of them. Debra planned a baby shower for Van, and was my only friend that came to the hospital to see her. Debra and I had a bond, but it definitely grew the day that Van was born. Debra had a son that died as a baby, and his birthday was the same day as my Van's. Debra told me the day that I announced I was pregnant that I would have Van on his birthday.

Weird Emily is not to be mistaken for all of my other Emily's, and was given the nickname Weird Emily because she can pull off dressing like Rainbow Brite without a problem. Our daughters have the same name, and she went out of her way to be my friend always!

Lynda is who we consider our Van's Grandma. Lynda worries about the three of us, and always will make sure that we have a plan. When we only had one car, and Paul just so happened to lock the keys in it...Lynda was the one that drove me 35 miles to take him another set of keys. Lynda is the Mom I wish that I had, because she is just pretty much amazing!

Amber was my old neighbor. Her son Grayson was Van's first friend. Amber is always thinking of someone else. She has brought us numerous little gifts, and has even brought popsicles for us when we were sick. Amber is a life saver!

Nicole aka Nicki is so genuine. Paul and I have always loved her. We went on a double date with her and her hubbs to a Jazz game...one of my fondest memories of her.

Bishop Terry was there for Paul and I in some of our weakest moments. He gave us some of the most sound advice, and gave us both blessings when we had no one. I will never forget standing in his office, and him giving me one of the biggest, best hugs ever...he made us feel important, and loved.

Okay, so as soon as I get this posted, I am sure that I will think of 5 million coworkers that I have loved and adored, 1 million neighbors, and 3 million friends! You all know that you are what makes up my family.
