You have such a good character vibe and know when to tell me when it is. You are a true friend and someone I feel that I can go to with good news or bad news and no matter what you will be there, whichever way I need you. I met your now husband ten and a half years ago and he has also become one of my best friends. I can tell him anything and I love that I can always have a good guys' perspective.
When you two had your first child a year and a half ago, it changed everything - in a good way. I didn't know I wanted to have kids of my own before, and now very week when we do family dinner night (family-friend tradition!) I can't wait. I hate to cancel and love everything about it. Yep I mean it, I love changing her diapers, listening to her tantrums and most of all cuddling and putting her to bed. It has made me want this again and to be a part of your lives and her life in a completely different way has meant more to me than I ever imagined. I feel that our friendship is stronger because of it.
Aside from the child, Mandy you are an amazing woman. You are confident, strong (don't ever doubt yourself on that), giving, kind, understanding, honest, loving and such a great friend. You are like a sister to me and I am so thankful to have you in my life. I strive to be like you - you are cool, calm and collected. You don't take things to seriously and remind me of that. You are funny and help me find the funny thigs in life. You challenge me in my beliefs and ask me questions to stir up thinking and why we support what we do. You help me see the better things in life when I cannot see them.
I cannot wait for baby number 2 to get here in February! I will be here for you no matter how you need me - babysit, meals, someone to talk to, someone to listen to, or just someone to be there. I love you lots and always will. Thank you for being you and being in my life.
