Irreplaceable

These are the ladies that held me together. The ladies who were there for me in our time here at 29 Palms. These are the ladies that,I believe in my heart of hearts, will be there for me even when I leave. They have provided me many shoulders to cry on, hugs to find comfort in and memories to last a lifetime!

We share joy thru our children, our husbands and eachother. No matter how different each one of us are we still have so much in common! Things won't be the same when these ladies aren't just a few steps away...





One of the ladies that touched my heart deeply is Jessica. She and I met 2 years ago when our husbands were prepering for a deployment to Iraq. At first, Jess and I did not really like eachother. So our husbands tried again, lol! We all went out to dinner and we totally hit it off! I began joining Jessica on her walks (after a few weeks of avoiding the walks) and ever since then she and I have become
the best of friends!


We went everywhere together and did everything together. We were there for eachother when phone calls from our husbands were missed or when our children were driving us up the wall and beyond!! Jessica took care of me when I had an unexpected surgery. She was an awesome nurse and even better friend!! I think the deployment showed the both of us
that our friendship would make it thru anything! We had our moments where we may have wanted to scream and yell at eachother but always made it thru!



We made many beautiful memories together and with our children. Even
though our youngest two could not stand
eachother!! I still laugh at some of the moments we've had together!



Jessica is an amazing woman and friend. She has taught me a lot and has shown me time and time again that she and I will be friends forever. I love you, Jess. Thank you for all the love and laughter you've given me. I thank God for bringing us into eachothers lives!








Thru Jessica (and again, my husband) I met Krystle. What a girl!! She is one of the sweetest girls I know. Her husband and Jason were side by side thru the Afghanistan deployment. I met her during the Iraq deployment but never got to know her until about a year later.
She is wonderful! The thing I love
most about her is her "Im a blonde"
personality! She has moments that
make me laugh, not at her but with her! I'll miss you dearly, Krystle!














I've also been blessed to have by my
side a lady that I've known since I was 15 years old. My sweet and ever-loving, Emmie! She and I met in high school and even though there were a few years of silence between us we are still as close as ever! She drove all the way up from El Cajon to see our family one last time. We reminisced till about 1:30 in the morning. Even though we didn't spend a lot of time together while I was here in California I am going to miss Emmie very much. I know that we will always be in touch! I love you Emmie! Thank you so much for coming up and visiting with us!!!



In August of last year I met two more women who have made a huge impact in my life! Jenn and Jordan...my friends and luckily my neighbors as well!! These two are such a blast to be around. We make eachother laugh all the time and are always excited to sit outside and chat the day away.

Sometimes when I'm around these girls it reminds me of being in high school. The stupid things we laugh at, the things we talk about and the fun we have.









This group of girls are referred to as the "elephants". If you've ever read Horton Hatches the Egg by Dr. Suess you'll know why. Elephants are faithful 100 percent!




Jenn and I met when she moved in next door to me. I was having a yard sale and she decided to put some stuff out in her driveway. I walked over to her sale and introduced myself. Soon after that I left for vacation. Two months later I returned home and she was all settled in her home. We talked every now and then and clicked more and more everytime! She has always been there for me when I needed to talk or even when I needed something fixed, haha!! I love you, Jenn and I'll miss having you so close!


Then there's Jordan...sweet and kind-hearted, Jordan. I met Jordan when I got back from Minnesota this past Summer. She and her family moved in while I was gone. We had talked a few times here and there but there was one terrible situation that brought us closer! We both were affected in different ways but we both held eachother up thru the pain. We learned so much about eachother in such a quick time. I will miss Jordans Minnesota accent and her laugh! She's a great girl...I love you, J!




Last but most definitely not least...My Jenny. My Miss J. My Jelly. My best friend! Jenny and I met in October of 2007 and hit it off shortly thereafter. We did many things together for our husbands who were deployed to Iraq. We didn't spend much time together in the beginning because she lived all the way in Yucca Valley and she had a very close group of friends already in her life. I was trying to squeeze my way in, lol!!!

I did, hahaha and it's been amazing ever since! We were there for eachother thru many different things. Once the Afghanistan deployment came around we were inseperable. We quickly became like family. The tears, the laughter, the happiness and the sadness made us see so many different sides of eachother. Sides that pretty much completed things within ourselves...in serious ways and in funny ways. Not sure if that makes sense to most people but it makes sense to us, ha!


She has stood with me thru thick and thin. She has put up with my annoying habits and I've put up with her always making these yummy treats that went straight to my thighs!! We have many little jokes in our friendship that will make us laugh for years to come!

Jenny...you have been nothing but wonderful to me. I'm so glad we are what we are and I'll thank God forever for bringing you into my life! I am truly going to miss our walks and all the time we spend. I won't ever forget the memories we've made and even though you are a working woman now and can't come visit me as much as I had hoped (LOL)...I still love you and I'll love you always!!

ALL OF YOU LADIES TRULY ARE IRREPLACEABLE!!!
