Friends!

What is it about these friends that I keep hanging out with them? They are crazy, bizzare, mexican, and wanna be mexicans (I promise no offense here). Most of all they are truthful, ever so truthful. We are all very strong opinionated (young) ladies! We all speak our mind very clearly around one another and yet it amazes me that we all seem to laugh at ourselves and each other without hurting each others feelings. Several times during our Sisterchicks weekend, I had to ask myself, "Why do I hang out with these ladies?" They point out my every flaw that I have and then some I didn't know I had!!! I apparently am very self centered, early to bed, early to rise chicken of some sort, smile and nodder, spiritual blesser of the food (because I can't hear them when they do it), can't hide a joke or a lie to save my life, still totally in love with my husband, it's all about me, chocolate lover, the first of the homeschoolers of this group (and they all thought I was weird when I did it!) (now they all do, except one, who just grins when we bring our homeschooled children over to her house for the day!), and so much more. We all poke fun at each other the whole time and yet not once did one of us say we are going to leave (for real) and just left! We still hang out with each other and love each other more because of it. I guess that's what Jesus meant when He said to "tell the truth in love!"

I love you girlfriends, but everytime I'm with you I come away with more flaws! Thanks for loving me too!
