True Friends Pick you up when you are down

Friends are the people who stand beside you through the good times and the bad. They are the ones that you share your adventures with when life is good and the ones you lean on when it isn't.

They cause you to laugh and sometimes to cry, frustrate you, and amaze you. They are the ones that provide you with all those crazy experiences and emotions that make your life worth living.

I had started my morning in such a bad mood...I was frustrated with so many different things and I was almost ready to cry....and just when I was almost ready to do that...my friend, Amanda was there...and after just a few minutes of talking to her I can honestly say I felt better. Things were looking so much better all of a sudden.

I don't wanna necessarily go into details, but let's just say that the two things that had me most worried and stressed as of this morning, both seem to be solving themselves.

My other friend, Jacquie had a lot to do with that 2nd thing and I am so grateful for her kindness and her genuine interest in helping all the time.

So, I am sitting at Amanda's house this morning, while the girls were at school and I just happened to mention to her that I've been looking at coloring my hair. Totally, out of the blue, she goes..."I'll do it...today...we'll do a "What not to wear" type thing...where you don't get to see the reveal until the very end..."

Wow...how awesome is she? That she is willing to put everything aside and worry about me?? About "picking me up" when she sensed I most needed it?? I felt spoiled and loved and grateful to have a friend like her..

Needless to say, a few hours later after picking the girls up from school, I was back at her house..

She had made lunch for all of us..so sweet again..

The kids had a blast playing together. Maile was super excited to see Kyler, whom she is totally convinced is her cousin.

They played pretend, they dressed up, they chased each other, they got all sweaty, they had cookies and had an awesome day together.

I had an awesome day with my friend, getting all dolled up, and feeling so special..

This is the before ...

And this is the after...

And this is the sweetest picture ever of 2 VERY good friends..
