I’m so thankful for the wonderful friends I have in my life.
I’m thankful for the ones that have been in my life for my whole life, who know me better than anyone else. I’m thankful for the ones who have been here for a short time, but have still made a huge impact on my life.
Jessica
We’ve been friends for twenty years! She’s my best friend and my sister, and she knows me better than anyone else. Even living 200 miles away, when we’re back together, we pick up right where we left off. One of my biggest fears when I left home to go to college was that our friendship wouldn’t last, but we both have worked so hard to stay close and we have! I am thankful to call her my best friend, and I’m thankful to be Aunt Ashley to her precious babies.
Teddie
She’s my big sister! We are such opposites, yet we manage to share common thoughts and still show up places wearing the same outfit. I never thought our friendship would survive her family moving away, but now we’re closer than ever, and knowing that makes her latest move easier to handle.
Neely
She’s my blog friend turned best friend. I say this often, but I never imagined blogging would lead me to meeting someone that would become a best friend! She brings out the adventurous part of me. How else would I have ever gotten on another airplane? :) She’s my bff and travel buddy, and I don’t know how we ever made it through life without knowing each other!
Tracy
The day I walked into my old office and met Tracy, I knew I was going to LOVE working with her! She was so patient with me and taught me so much about work and life during the time we worked together. Our relationship quickly went from coworker to friend! She has helped me through difficult times and has always been so supportive.
Momma
I’m so thankful to have the most incredible relationship with my mom. She’s my sounding board and my advice giver, and at the same time one of the goofiest people ever. We have the best time together!
Joyce
From the very first time I met her, I knew I was going to love her! In the six years that I’ve known her, she has been an amazing friend and my other momma.
“You are not friends because you sit together at the lunch table, talk on the phone, have matching flip-flops, or can recite each other’s wardrobe. When she smiles, a grin forces itself across your face, no matter how angry you are. When she cries, instantly you feel her pain and want to cry with her. When you look her in the eye, you know there’s no one you could ever trust more, regardless of you many broken hearts you’ve had. That’s what it means to be friends.”
What a sweet post! Love all the quotes and the close relationships you have with your friends! My momma is one of my best friends too! :)

How nice! I want to be you and Neely’s real life friend. hahaha no seriously.
This is such a beautiful tribute Ashley. You are so blessed.
I love this, friend! I should do one of these posts. It’s a good way to be thankful moving into the holidays. So many people have no one… and I feel so blessed to have so many great people in my life. And you are blessed to have so many in yours. :) Great post!
