My favorite F Words:)

Ok so I thought I would continue on with the letter F. I am sure there are lots of good F's, but I am going to focus on my favorite 3. I skipped family though because---where do you start. I do love my family though.

1. Friday. I have always loved Friday because of football games, weekends, all of the normal stuff. Now I love it even more. It is Todd's day off. This is the only day that I can REALLY clean my house and occasionally go places BY MYSELF!!! I really look forward to Friday because it is like a break for me too---or a day off (kinda). Yay for Friday today!!!






2. Friends. I have always loved my friends. In high school I had great friends and was so sad when school ended and I thought I might not see some of them for a while. Then when I finished up in college and knew that I would not see many of my classmates again--I was sad all over again. I am so happy that I have many great friends again now and WILL NOT ALLOW them to move away.


3. Fran. I never included Franny in my "Why I love my friends" posts because I didn't even know where to start. She is my longest lasting friend and we have so many memories that it is hard to pick any favorites. SOOOO here is my list of reasons why I love my Fran...




* She is a great mom. Sometimes I am amazed at the lengths she will go to let her kids have a good day. I swear there is not a fair, rodeo, parade, carnival, or activity that Fran does not know about and take her kids to. I am sure there are lots of things that she would rather do on a weekend, but she always goes out of her way for her kids to have fun. I love that.


* She is honest. I don't think Fran has ever lied to me. She forgot to tell me she was pregnant with Kraeton, but she never lied about it. I love it. When I want an honest answer (even if it differs from my opinion) Fran is the girl. She just wont lie.

* She is just plain fun. We always have fun at her house. We have had bon-fires, touch football games (where I actually got tackled), pumpkin carving parties, New Years parties, games nights, you name it.


* She works hard. I remember going over to her house when we were younger and I would get hauled out to help with the cows. I would have run away from home if I had had to work that hard as a kid, but she just did it.

*She is the best hygienist that I have ever had. Plus she became a hygienist. She decided in high school that she wanted to be one, then she researched it, went to college, worked hard, stuck with it (despite the obstacles) and finished. Now she not only does that, but she also teaches at the hygiene program at CBC. Again--HARD WORKER!!

* Fran is the best budgeter and most finincially stable person I have ever met. BUT she never goes without the things that she really wants. She is a great saver and has more common sense than anybody. Her and my husband were cut from the same financial mold. Cheap, but not stingy.

* I have so many great times with Fran and cannot wait to make some more memories, like going to the ocean, girls' days, shopping trips, craft day, parties, the list could go on. I decided to stop here because otherwise you would get a trip down memory road. THERE ARE TOO MANY REASONS TO COUNT WHY I LOVE MY FRANNY!!!

I love you Fran and am glad that we have made it through all these years!!!!

I sooooooo needed that blog, we had another rough day in the Waters household (you will have to read my blog). My favortie picture is the car wreck, I did not know we had picture of that, it made me laugh so hard (I do not know if I was laughing so hard because of the wreck or because of what we looked liked, yikes!!!!!) Thanks for all the comments
