So now for my 5. Hmmmm...

First would have to be Susie. She was one of my first Blog friends. I don't even know how I found her but I am so glad I did. She always has a kind word to say even with everything she is going through. And she is the only person I know that has Rats for pets. Yep you heard me right:-P

Next would be Krissy. Truly a real FireCracker. She leaves me laughing or crying always. And she knows just what to say to cheer me up when I'm in a slump.

April would have to be the next one. She is a newlywed. And it is the sweetest thing you have ever seen between her and Big D. She also knows alot of what I go through with Richard since she lost her Dad to Cancer as well.

Moving on with Melissa. I only have one word for her and it's Amazing. Sometimes you meet people and you realize how strong their Faith is. And Melissa is one of those people. Her Faith and her willingness to serve God and others is truly Amazing.

And last but certainly not least is Kori. It's not me it's her. We share many things besides just the spelling of our names. The way we tend to analyze things and be extremely anal cracks me up. She is awesome and I really wish they would catch Creepy Stalker Guy cause it makes me worry.

Now I could keep going but the rules strictly sate only 5. But I don't like that. So this award is for all you folks. Thanks for being interested in the happenings of our family.
