While I was in Bear Lake, Tonya text me to see when we could go to lunch to celebrate my birthday. We chose today and went to Cafe Rio. I had been wanting their Pulled Pork Salad. We got a table away from the other tables so we were able to have a good conversation and it was quiet. (Cafe Rio isn't known for quiet) I wish mine and Tonya's schedules matched up better so we could spend more time together. It's interesting how time and schedules change life. I'm grateful when we do make the time to see each other. Tonya has always been my life-saver. She's always there for me. A week or so ago the spirit had told her to call me...she put it off until the third time thinking she should call me. When she did I was shopping for new decorations to brighten my family room and broke down right there in the store. It was shortly after Davaleen's passing and even though I was fine I think Heavenly Father wanted me to know that He was there and well aware of my feelings. Tonya's call was from Heavenly Father....I'm so glad that we get to be his voice sometimes.
I love my friend so much. She has truly been my big sister...always there for me. She builds me up. She listens to my concerns. She laughs at my craziness. She loves me unconditionally. She helps me with anything and everything....Tonya is a Blessing to Me!
Oh...and the girl knows me well! I pulled that pretty paper from the sack and there was a bag of Honeycomb candy! I laughed and said "You've been to Park City huh?" She smiled and laughed too. Oh and the jar....how cute is that? I just added that blue to my family room. Guess what was in it? More Honeycomb! JACKPOT!!! One bag to share and one to hide for me. ☺
I love celebrating my birthday because I get to see my bestest of friends or at least hear from them all around the same time!
