Anna...

On Day 19 I'm thankful for my wonderful friend Anna.  

She and I have only known each other for 5 years but 

she's become a lifetime friend for me.  

She was with me through my pregnancy with Famani si'i.  

Apart from my hubby, I think I spent more time 

with Anna than with anyone else.  

My son has a lot of her traits, which I love and find hilarious.  

Anna is a gomedian (comedian)!  

If I need to laugh and just be silly, she's the friend I would call.  

She is soooo outgoing and will make a complete 

stranger feel like they're old friends.  

I've never met anyone who tries to be there for everyone 

all the time at the same time...I've had moments where I've had to pretty much slap her back to reality and remind her that it's impossible.  

I'm grateful that she doesn't judge me EVER 

and we can talk for days about life and dreams and goals.  

She's my number one supporter when it comes to my dream 

of being an author.  With her encouragement I was actually 

able to finish a novel and have the guts to try to get it proofed to submit.  Even if it goes nowhere, she will always be the friend who gave me enough courage to do what I love.  

I am so thankful for her sweet spirit.  

I have served with her in Church and know what a blessing 

her testimony is to me and so many others that know her.

Heavenly Father has been so gracious in allowing me to have these wonderful women, whom I am honored to call friends, in my life.
