So Sweet

I frequently marvel at how wonderful a group I've become friends with here. I've never had problems making friends wherever we've lived, but this group is special. We're very close-knit, and are always there to help each other with whatever needs to be done. We joke about the saying, "It takes a village," but that's kind of how it is with us. This week, with my being sick, it's been so nice to know that Erin can get a ride home from school with this person, or that someone else can take care of things that I can't get to at school. Yesterday, one of my friends actually brought over dinner for us, and today another one brought me flowers. It's just very touching to know that this amazing group of women is always there for each other, no matter what is going on. You all know who you are, and know that I love each and every one of you! Anyway, before I get too sappy, here are some pictures of the beautiful flowers I received this afternoon. The person who gave them to me is a fellow photography nut, and I'm hoping she took the time to get some great shots of these before dropping them off!

This one might be one of my all-time favorite flower pictures!

And, not to be outdone, this morning (when I didn't even come downstairs), Erin apparently made me a get well card, and proceeded to have a bunch of people at school sign it! You'll have to click on the picture to enlarge it, but it has signatures from teachers, school staff, the principal, my friends, Erin's friends - everyone! This brought such a huge smile to my face, I can't even describe it!
