Jessica Squared

I am SO SAD my other half(no, not Rich) is leaving me. My amazing friend, Jessica, is PCSing to Texas in 4 days and I can honestly say she has changed my life for the better. I have been incredibly blessed with great friends everywhere we have lived and Jess is no exception. In fact, I think she is the friend that has changed me the most. She has made me want to be a better mother, homemaker and friend.

She has been a great example of relying/trusting in Heavenly Father, always suggesting prayer or a priesthood blessing when ever there was any kind of need, no matter how big or small. I absolutely LOVE that about her.

While this might seem silly to some people it is a huge deal to me- for the first time in my 8 years of marriage I finally feel like my house is a home. She taught me how to decorate and even more important, she gave me so much confidence in myself that I was lacking.

She was the one friend that helped me weather the storm while Eva was in the NICU and during the extremely trying months after she came home. She comforted me every time I called her bawling from the hospital because Eva had a rough day. After Eva came home Jess always brought the party to my house because she knew I couldn’t take Eva out.

Good friends like my sweet friend, Jess, are hard to come by. I think this book mark she gave me the other day says it best.

Jess, since I know you read my blog, this post is for you. Thank you for becoming my sister. Thank you for loving me and allowing me to be 100% myself without ever having to apologize for it and thank you for doing the same. I love you!

I’ll see you next year when we go on our cruise together unless you are “over it” by that time, hahaha!
