My week has gone by so fast, but has been pretty good in Kayla standards. I love being able to help friends, well at least friends who deserve it and my friend Amber deserves it. She is the mother of 2 of my favorite kids and marrried to one of Wade's friends, Andy. Recently she paid someone to paint her kids room in Princess and Alabama themes, which cost $450.00. She paid this woman upfront in good faith (its a shame you can't do that anymore), this woman started on Anna Kate's room, got halfway done and never showed back up and would not answer her phones calls, so here was my friend, out $450.00 and one half done room and no Alabama room for Aiden. She finished Anna Kate's room by herself but with work, 2 kids (3 if you count her husband), she needed some help. It made feel good as a friend to help her paint and get his room done, because I know she really appreciated it. That's one thing that seems to fall short these days, people appreciating the things their friends do for them, instead of always expecting it. Since I have moved to Sylacauga I have made two of the best friends I could ever ask for and it feels like I have known them my whole life. The other night my friend Kelly said something to me that I had never really thought about before (granted she had a few beers), she told me she thought we were meant to find each other (as friends of course!!!) and that she knew we would be friends forever. Its always nice to hear when someone says something like to you, I truly love these two girls like we have been friends are whole lives and I know that we will be friends for the rest of our lives. Saying that I also want to say that I still love all of the friends I have had my whole life and I hate not seeing them as much as I used to, they have helped make me who I am today and I am grateful for that, even to the ones who are no longer my friends anymore, because these people helped me to see the mistakes I had made in my friendships over the years and those are not mistakes I plan to repeat. I guess the old saying is true, everyone is put in your life for a reason, some stay and some go, but they all have a purpose to serve.
Just wanted to post some pictures of my new, wonderful friends and their beautiful babies.......
