In debt

I am in debt to my friends BIG TIME! What would I do without all of my friends and family's support?

I found myself reflecting on this over the weekend. I was so distraught over leaving Dallas/missing Reesie and my "support team" made everything go over smooth. First, I need to thank Martain (she's a second mamma, my best friend Mhari's mom) for the endless amounts of buddy passes she gives me. I think she is the only reason I have been able to visit all the cool places to go see Dallas. I don't think I've paid full price for a Delta ticket in years. It is almost impossible to book a flight in advance in this lifestyle. Inevitably, if you book a ticket in advance, he will get called up or something happens and you have to reschedule. (Maybe I should book one to ABQ...hhhmmmm)

Mom & Dad are amazing Meme & Papa's. I always thought a mother's love ran deep, but I think someone's passing me on the love-o-meter. My parents adore her. Everything she does is perfect. When their with her you hear things like "She is hilarious." and, my personal favorite "Let me tell you what she did, she is a genius." If only everyone thinks of us as our grandparents do. (although I like to think she's got some genius going on and I know she's got some smartelic, stand-up comedy routines in her head or she wouldn't be my child). Mom and the girls headed to see Menopause the Musical Sunday, so Papa came to babysit. He had a blast and so did Reesie. Everyone is always amazed at how good my Dad is with her. He's a trouper. Storytime, gymnastics, babysit for hours, changing stinky diapers...he's done it all. A real man. Thanks Daddy!!

Saving the best for last. Donna. Or as she likes to be called B.A.D. (beautiful Aunt Donna). She is one of those friends that you know will always be there for you. No matter what the circumstance. I met her during my internship in college (public relations) and then she was crazy enough to hire me. I know your probably questioning her abilities right now, but she knows a good thing when she sees it. (right Scott?? her hubby) Anyhoo, we've known each other for nine years now and she is family. I know I am not half the friend she is to me and I wonder if I'll ever be able to repay her for all she has done. Probably not. Although, I did wear a wedding dress from the 80's (puffy sleeves and all) and pretend to be Cinderella for her daughter's birthday party. Let's see, there was also the Britney Spears party where I wore a headset and taught dance routines. (Gosh, aren't you glad I'm not having to imitate her now? I can just picture it...scary) I've been Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Oh, there was also Snow White. I feeling like I'm losing you and you may be questioning our stability. To sum up, we just have fun together! A blast to be exact. But aside from the fun, she is this amazing friend. Amazing mother. I could not get back Sunday b/c of American Airlines and their perfect timing of cancelling a gazillion flights. So, who's comes to the rescue to babysit Reesie? Yep, you guessed it. What would I do without her? Oh, and not to mention her mom (Reese's 2nd Meme). She comes through for me all the time too. It makes you realize how good friends are in life. They are irreplaceable. Especially this one.

A picture from the tub. Reese loves to play. I guess all babies do, but this chick loves it. Her favorite is letting the water run. She tries to catch it! Hilarious!
