Make a Wish!

What did you wish for when you blew out your birthday candles?

As a kid I can remember exactly what I would wish for when it was time to blow out the candles on my birthday cake.  It was the same wish from the time I was in second grade right up until high school.   They say you aren't supposed to reveal your wish, or it might not come true, but I feel like it has come true in a small way because of starting this blog. 

My wish was that all my friends could be together in one place.  I started wishing this after we moved from New Mexico to Virginia.  I hated leaving behind my friends, and I thought it would be so wonderful to have them all in one location.  I dreamed of them meeting each other and everyone getting along.  I wanted my friends to be as crazy about each other as I was of them. 

When a friend reads a post about another friend, it's like I'm transporting one friend to where I am and introducing them to everyone else.   It's not exactly the same as everyone living on the same street or sharing a huge three story house on the beach like I imagined when I blew out the candles, but it's pretty darn close. 

I hope you enjoy learning about my amazing friends by reading this blog.  I told my friend, Amy, that people will get to know more about me by learning about my friends.
