On Friday night my friend Nissa-Lynn and I hosted our monthly dinner group with our amazing group of friends. Since Nissa has a special talent for decorating she handled the china and table arrangements while I handled most of the food. As always, it was a great night away with the girlfriends. This poem sums up the nights theme and pretty much how we all feel about each other.
"Every friend is like a snowflake, unique in beauty and design. Each sparkels in a diffrent way-some are playful, some refined. But, unlike fragile snowflakes that fade when the sun appears, friends grow even more beautiful with every passing year."
The fabulous table decor- great job Nissa
My friend Kari wrote her thoughts of the night on her blog and I couldn't have said it better so I copied some of it. "As I sat surrounded by this amazing group of ladies I realized that I am truely blessed. I am surrounded by strong members of the church, women that each in their own way inspire me, wonderful wives and mothers, women of great compassion, kindness, and love. I am blessed to call them my friends and lucky to be surrounded by women like that. Tonight we had a fabulous inspirational talk (thanks Nissa's mom!) She urged us to be confident, look at how wonderful we each are, be happy, be positive. To all "my girls"....I would say you are awesome! It is an absolute honor to be surrounded by you. I love that we are all different in our own way. We all have our own struggles, ups, and downs, and we all have our own lives that tend to keep us busy. BUT....I know that if I ever needed ANYTHING I could call on my girls to help me out. For that I say, THANK YOU! I look forward to everytime we are able to get together because I know I will walk away with a smile on my face and feel re-energized. I am a better person because of you, a better mom because of you, and a better friend because of you. Thank you for your examples! Tonight was so fun...to get caught up on everyone's lives...and Tiare, to meet little Ben. What a sweetheart! I love each of you for who you are and all that you teach me. I love that we are like snowflakes in that we are all different. That is what makes us so great together! And I know that because of the great friendships we have we will continue to grow with each other."Love you girls!!!
