Diane's 40th Birthday Party~ "40 is the NEW 20"

Last Sunday we celebrated Diane's 40th Birthday at my family cabin.  It was such a fun filled time with family & friends!  Diane & Dawn are both very special to my family, since our mama(s) were best friends since they were in the 8th grade.  As Dawn said a few weeks back, "I am their sister from another mistress".....

While Dawn & I were planning, we immediately decided against the entire black "over the hill" theme.  Diane is girly & we wanted to have a fun party!

Here is our Birthday girl, with her daughter Carson

Friends.....

What defines a true friend?   

 

A 'true friend' is someone who will stay with you even if everybody has turned their backs on you.

People will come in and out of your life, but a true friend will always be there.  I can count on one hand the friends that I could call on anytime.  We may not see each other often, but we are always there for each other during a time of need.


My mom recently had a health scare.  Dawn sent this to me the morning we were at Emory for our consult with the neurosurgeon.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.

Isaiah 41:10,13

Class of 92~fast forward 20 years!

Wow, what 20 years will do!  Melissa & I decided the day before to attend our reunion, and I am so glad we did.  Even though we are all friends with everyone on facebook, it was great to see them in person.

Words of Advice: never give up the opportunity to attend a class reunion!
