I have the greatest friends. I wish I was articulate enough to compose the most touching letter to each and every one of you. I have been beyond blessed in the girlfriend department and I truly treasure time with you all.
I USE to have these two friends by the name of Erin and Ashley. I say "use to" because I'm not sure what my status is to them after this morning. They volunteered to help out with MOPS this morning and were in the infant classroom. I peeked my head over and there were NINE babies screaming all at once. They are supermoms, but there's really only so much human ears can take. I kid you not Erin was bottle feeding two different children and changing a diaper all at the same time. Ashley was bouncing a crying infant in her arms and with her leg rocking a bouncy seat. And with all those tears came runny noses. I think we lost count in the nose wiping department. AND THEN - they stayed and helped me clean up! Pretty great, huh?
They helped me out because they have big hearts. I appreciate it more than words and I'm sorry for the constant ringing in your ears for the rest of the day. It would be a very depressing life without my military family here in Idaho. Thanks again. Please answer the phone when I call you later this afternoon!

You do have GREAT friends - and they will be with you the rest of your life! Military families are the best...we continue to be in contact with ours...
It takes a great friend to have a great friend...I am sure that you would be the first one to help them out also...I love you Jen with all my heart!
Oh Jen, watching the kids this morning doesn't even begin to repay all the things you have done for me since we've known you! You are such a sweet and giving woman and it's an honor to be your friend.
And it's *our* MOPS group-- I love to help and you don't need to ever feel bad about asking! Need me next time? I'll just bring my earplugs along ;)
