It has been a good weekend. Bowling (and winning) friday night. Then tonight, BIG FISH... what a great movie. Everyone needs to go see it. However, that wasnt the highlight. I had a God-sighting. After leaving the movie, my wallet (with credit cards, almost 50 bucks and a few other important things) was missing. After looking everywhere... it was no where to be found. However, we got sent to the box office, who suprisingly had it with all the credit cards and cash still in tact! WOW! Then Karen and I had one of those mind-blowing-3-hour conversations (well not 3 hours, but def long)... and it got me thinking, which is usually a bad thing, but in this case, its good. So here are a few quotes that are aimed at specific people, and if you read it, I hope you know who you are:

"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." -G. Randolf
“A real friend is someone who you can sit in complete silence with and still walk away feeling like you just had the best conversation of your life.”
“True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side.”
"We will be friends until forever, just you wait see." - Pooh Bear
"My friend, if I could give you one thing, I would wish for you the ability to see yourself as others see you. Then you would realize what a truly special person you are."
"My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life." -Kate Tierney

Maybe I got a little quote happy, but each one of these quotes makes me think of each of you, and reminds me how blessed I am for you. For the times together, for the memories, for the long chats/silences, for the effort to stay together no matter what, for the flaws and tears, for 2am chats about nothing, for being there and allowing me to be there for you. Each one of you is my friend and whether I see you often or not, you are with me always. Thank you! Proverbs 17:17 "A friend loves at all times..." Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another" Until I talk to you again, know that I am praying for you and loving you despite any distance whether big or small!
