Christmas most assuredly did not come slowly this year. What in blazes happened to the 2nd and 3rd weeks of December? I'll tell you what happened, CHRISTMAS PARTIES! In the slightly modified, but oh so fitting for the season, words of Ray Stevens They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere! Honestly there were so many parties this year it was hard to keep up.
Christmas was great. I am so happy right now. My mom told me Sunday night that in the 24 years I have been alive she has never seen me so relaxed and happy. I'm not quite sure if that is a good thing or not... that either means that I am really really relaxed and happy or that I am usually uptight and grouchy...
I am at work now, but I am off tomorrow. I will try to give a more detailed update then.

Amazing Friends
One game night several weeks ago we were all picking on each other and something came up about friends. I forgot the context, but this was said (in teasing of course) "Wow! I'm surprised you have 4 friends." I got to thinking about it and spoke up and said that I without a doubt could name 4 friends not in the room at that moment.
This lead me to think back to high school. I did not have many friends. In fact only one person comes to mind that I would call a true friend. Through college I made friends that I knew would be lasting. Cathy, Heather, Joni, Jay, and Alton are the ones who really stand out while I am typing this post. In my adult life other have come along Jessica, Kelly, Kelly, Kyle, Angie, Amy, and Jason to name a few.
Each and everyone of these people routinely impact my life. I love and treasure you all more than you can imagine. 10 years ago, I would have never believed that God would bless me with friends like you.
Last night as I was laying on my bed in the middle of full body spasms triggered by who knows what, I was surrounded by my friends. Kyle you were literally wiping my tears away, Jessica you were taking charge and getting in your "nurse mode", and Kelly you were saying a prayer for me. Thank you so much for being there.
I don't know why God has allowed me to have fibromyalgia. What I do know is that it continually humbles me and reminds me that I am not alone, and I cannot do it all all by my self.
Most of all, it reminds me of what great friends God has blessed me with. I am truly a blessed girl.
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:10 NIV
