Ashley, B, and Jodi ~ Lifelong friends
See, I have a little golden book my mom received when she was pregnant with me. It was To Baby Miller (that was me!) from Baby Outler (that was Jodi!). So when we say we've been friends all our lives we mean it. Literally.
And my, oh my, the memories we share. From the absolute heartache grief and pain of untimely deaths and personal struggles to the incredible joy of marrying two amazing, godly men and having beautiful babies of our own, we've built a friendship steady and strong. From partying like rockstars in our wild days - days we'd both likely wish we could erase - to worshiping together every Sunday at church, studying God's word together in Sunday School, and praising our Heavenly Father for his amazingly steady provision through all of it. . . Jodi is my true blue, best friend.
Jodi's the friend I walked 60 miles in 3 days with. She's the friend I worked with for about 5 years. She's the friend who squealed the loudest when I got engaged, the friend who smiled the biggest when Tim and I got pregnant.
The friend I simply cannot imagine my life without. And I thank God for her always.
Especially today as she celebrates her 32nd birthday. I love you, dear one! Here's to the rest of our lives! The best is truly yet to come!

B, that was so sweet! I know that Jodi has always cherished y'alls friendship! She has been a wonderful friend to everyone she's met, I think...there aren't many others like her, that's for sure!
I found you over at Amanda's, and thought I would drop by. Nothing like a true friend to share your heart with. I found a cute little plaque the other day that read "it takes a long time to grow an old friend". Lots of shared experiences are what makes great friends. Have a great week!
Wow, girl where has the time gone, your baby is one! Already!!!! she is so cute and precious and amazing. Your looking pretty happy yourself miss happy as can be.
It was great to hear from you, made me smile.
Happy Birthday to your friend, a little late. :)
