Best Friends

Best Friends means different things to different people. Some insist that you can have only one best friend. Others assert that they have best friends for different aspects of their personalities. Whatever the precise definition, your best friend is the person who gets you. They understand who you are and what you are saying. The greatest distance cannot separate best friends. You will always feel a kinship with them, and be able to instantly continue the friendship even after not talking for many months or even years.

"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you
pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

GiGgLeS


Kinley and Abby got in some girl time too this weekend. It was so much fun watching these 2 play and giggle ALL afternoon. They hula-hooped, rode tricycles, blew bubbles, played a lot of hide & seek. And just had a good ole time being little girls. Every time they are together it takes a little warming up but they always play so well together. I can't wait till the next time they can "hang out"!

Happy Birthday Ben

St.Patty Day was my nephew Ben's 1st birthday. And this past Saturday I went to Waco to celebrate his big day with him and the family. He had such a good little party and I had a great time hanging out with everyone. I cant believe that he is already a whole year old. Where has the time gone?


Kinley had to check out his toys up close!
Ben~
Auntie M and Uncle Jeff love you so very much. We cant not believe that you are already a year old. You are such a sweet sweet boy and we cant wait to see you grow and change over the next 12 months. We hope you had a great birthday little man.
We love you,
Uncle Jeff and Auntie M

LADY ANTEBELLUM

On Monday my good friends from back home Nicole and Misti came to Houston for a quick over night visit. We went to dinner at Carrabba's and headed out to the Livestock Show and Rodeo to watch our favorite... Lady Antebellum! I think between me, Nicole, Misti and Nikki we may be just a tad obsessed with them. The were amazing and cant wait to see them again!

FOR THE.....




LOVE OF CUPCAKES!!!!

Hanging out with Kinley

The weather was so pretty Saturday evening that we took Kinley out to ride on her Big Wheel. All she wanted to do was start at the top of the drive way and ride down fast to the bottom. It was hilarious!





Shelly also had to try it out....
And you just cant end the evening without a quick swing in the back yard.


Tiffany's Baby Shower

Last weekend I help host a baby for my sister in law Tiffany, as she awaits the arrival of her 2nd baby Cason Lee. We all had a good time with close family and friends. Little Cason will be here before we know it with only about 4 weeks till his due date. I am so excited to have another nephew and we cant hardly wait to see who he looks like! ** Will we get another Herring boy or will it be a Weiss??**
