Friends

We've been blessed with wonderful friends throughout our lives.

Ray and I both keep in touch with some high school friends, who have seen us through thin and thick -- yes, that's a reference to our expanding waistlines and all the wrinkles. Funny things about high school friends is that you always have that connection. My friend Elaine and I lead inextribicably different lives, yet we still consider one another friends. It will be good to see Elaine this next year at the 30th (gulp) reunion.

Then there are our wonderful friends from Okinawa. Family, always. We shared joys and heartaches through the years.

Tom and Carol, our first close friends as married couples. We still cherish the crazy moments and value the current.

And now our circle of friends here in Oklahoma. We would never have imagined such caring people whom we share new experiences and find support from.

Thanks guys. It's great knowing someone is always there to call, laugh and cry with.
