Find Out Who Your Friends Are...

So while listening to the radio on the way home today, with the sunroof open and the windows down, enjoying a bit of the GORGEOUS weather we had, this song popped up. It reminded me once again of how blessed I am to have the wonderful friends and family that I have. When things got rough for me earlier this month, I realized just how great my friends really are. Several of them took out quite a bit of time out of their busy schedules to come spend time with me and comfort me-Elisabeth, Crystal, Hollie-and even though Mel was in NC the whole time, she stayed on Skype with me for hours on end listening

to me whine have my little tantrums.

I have to give a special shout out to my E, Elisabeth. She was an angel throughout this whole process. Not only was she being pulled at from both ends, but she did it with fairness, class, dignity, and compassion. She really could've been the #1 "I told you so" person for this situation, but instead, she never uttered it. And I'm sure it was difficult not to, but somehow she's amazing enough to step back and see the big picture, even when she was in the thick of it. The same day I found out the news, she literally dropped everything once she left church, changed, and came to see me. But not before making a stop at the grocery store to pick up some of my favorite things. It was BEYOND wonderful. It has to be one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me, especially with the situation she was put in. It wasnt just one thing she did, it was all of it. Her showing up on a moment's notice (this is HARD for her, she is super busy), driving over here as quickly as possible, and then on top of it, bringing me all of my favorite junk foods to make me feel better. What meant the most to me though, was the time she spent with me. She let me cry, vent, whatever I wanted. It was wonderful. Sometimes it's truly hard to remember that she's younger. At times she really seems wise beyond her years. Then after she stayed with me for hours, she wrote the sweetest blog post ever for me, and I LOVE it.

I love this girl, totally.

Enough gushing, So anyway, I hear this song today, and it made me think of all of my friends that have dropped everything for me lately to help me heal. Because of them, and God, and a mostly positive attitude, I've pretty much recovered. I feel 300% Better than I did at the beginning of the month. I really am one of the most forturnate girls in the world! :) This song was too perfect for my situation, love it!

Find Out Who Your Friends Are-Tracy Lawrence:

Run your car off the side of the road

Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere

Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back

Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus pass

This is where the rubber meets the road

This is where the cream is gonna rise

This is what you really didn't know

This is where the truth don't lie

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?'

or 'it's way too far'

They just show on up with their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back

wants to shake your hand

when you're up on top of that mountain

But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down

look up and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end

This ain't where the bandwagon stops

This is just one of those times when

A lot of folks jump off

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'

They just show on up with their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair

When the well runs dry

Who's gonna be there?

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run out and crank up their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'

They just show on up with their big old heart

You find out who your friends are

You find out who your friends are

Life really is beautiful, and I'm glad I get to share it with beautiful people. xo
