Keep your friends close

It wasn't long ago I started a blog and stopped after about 5 entries.  Not this time.  I have begun a journey that will forever change my life and it has already been such an amazing, wild, and emotional experience (that will be another blog entry).  I have to first and foremost thank a very close friend of mine for getting me back into blogging and for thinking of "Mom to the Max."  Melissa (AStrongerMama) and I have known each other since we were freshman in high school, and although there was a short period of time we weren't in touch, it didn't seem to change our friendship.  We have become close friends and I think it's because we share similar struggles in our lives that we have grown closer.  (Not to mention our good taste in Nebraska men).  Among other things, she has inspired me to start this blog and she will never cease to amaze me with her strength and smile.

While I would love to do another entry tonight on the journey I mentioned above, I am going to have to save it for another night.  This mama has to get her beauty sleep :-)
