Supporting my friends






As you can tell I am such a supportive friend! My Best's Friend Kimy, whom I work with, shop with, hang out with, spend family gatherings with, cry with, laugh A LOT with, share secrets with and well, would give my right arm for. She'd have to give her left arm (She's left handed)and she would!
We think so much a like that we finish each other sentence. Our family history is so simular and well, we just scare ourselves on how much we have in common.

She and I act as if we are 12 yrs old and actually have been friends since we were 10 and 11. She is 1 yr older than me - had to put that in - but we have been through about the same things in life. Two failed marriages. Our first husbands we married out of high school and became mothers very early. (Both our 1st EX's names where Greg). Husband number 2 were alcholoics that were wrecker driver and business owner. (These were our bought with alcohol days) These were our try and fix them relationships, But, eventually knew we had to get ourselves and children out of such a toxic relationship. And get away from all the drinking.

I've been there and seen her two boys grow from babies to fine young men, I consider them my own kids. She's been there for the three of my kids. Thats their AUnt Kimy! We have just ALWAYS been there for each other in all phases of our lives. We can completely be OURSELVES 100% when we are together. (some times completely humiliating our children) We know things about each other our own mothers or husbands don't know. And our husbands just shake their head at us and know if we had to choose between the two - they'd be gone!ha So, they love that we love each other so much. (I think they really like the fact we bitch to each other about stuff instead of them!)

Okay so why the heck am I in her pants??? And whats the point here??? Well,when my friend Kimy lost some weight she was wearing these Gosh awful pants that were big enough for two people. So, I tell her to get rid of those pants, we are very honest with each other, they look like I can fit in there with her. She says "Get on in here then" SO I DO! Not to mention this is at our little sorority meeting where we are suppose to be fine young ladies of the community.....

Oh well, life is to short to not laugh and we do plenty of that (So, do the people around us) when we are together. Unless they don't know us and they just think we are crazy.

But, I really think one day she is going to be a minister to someone besides me. We talk about God a lot and how He put us in each others lives. I really truly believe He gave her to me. Now, I am working on her sharing her wonderful abilities to Minister to others. She has sooooo much to give others that I am willing to share her-nice of me huh?

With that being said, Our first meeting of "The Well" went really, really good. I see a place for her or anyone that needs friends like this in this group. I've not even asked Kim to come to a meeting. I'm still trying to even get her to come to Church. hint...hint... no, She is a very Spiritual woman that doesn't need my ways of worshipping to know she is defiantly a child of God. But, sense I share everything else in my life, I would love to share this with you too, Kimy?????

I just never thought that sense i had Kimy and Shannon (My other friends that I will blog about next)in my life, I didn't need any other friends. Boy was I wrong I have room for others....See I got to know these people in this Group "The Well" I realized their are different kinds of friendhsip and you learn and grow from all of them. I am truly blessed to have these people in my life. I've never felt so loved and have so much love for a wonderful group of people. If someone you know needs this kind of love, please let them know about this group that meets on Monday nights at 5:30. I already have one wonderful friend that I love dearly coming and would we have room for others.
You can always e-mail me at stephanieleighmarshall@yahoo.com if ever you want more info.

To all my friends - have a wonderful and blessed day!

Kimy, Don't kill me for blogging this, I love you!
