So, it's time for my ten things Tuesday...yes, I know I've missed the last couple but, of course, I'm still thankful each and everyday!
This week's blog is going to be a little different - my friend, Rebecca, has been on my heart lately so my 10 things are dedicated to her.
Ten Things I Love About (and am thankful about) Rebecca
1. Rebecca has an amazing way about her. No matter what life throws her way she is able to put on a smile and "fake it" - she'll say she learned this quality from her dad (he's later in my list). While I love this about her, it also drives me crazy sometimes because it's hard to tell when she's down or upset...I have to PRY it out of her!
2. Rebecca is BEAUTIFUL, both inside and out. She loves people and people love her. She's in great shape, takes care of herself and is just a gorgeous woman. Her curves make other women jealous! :)
3. I love her way with babies and children. Her parents fostered babies while she was growing up and, therefore, she has a natural way around infants and kids that most people don't gain until motherhood. Both my boys adore her.
4. Her parents are incredible people. They are very obviously madly in love with each other and continuously show unconditional love for their four children. I love the relationship Rebecca has with them and all their wonderful traits that they have passed down to her.
5. Rebecca's brain is filled with tidbits of knowledge about almost any subject imaginable, particularly health and household information. It's like there is a little, old grandmother living inside of her who can tell you how to get any stain out of anything, what vegetable goes with what meat, and what the symptoms for any illness or disease might be...she's a wealth of great knowledge for me, a mom who often feels like she knows nothing!!
6. I love how Rebecca has grown as a person since I've known her. She's gained value in herself through job skills (she's a super fast learner and a self-starter) and her self-esteem has skyrocketed knowing SHE can take care of herself! (Those who love her always knew that about her!)
7. I love her dedication to her work. She is the most dependable, reliable co-worker that I believe I've ever had the pleasure of sharing an employer with - gosh, I miss her! She rarely calls in sick, stays until the work is finished and, even to a fault - when it's not her job, makes sure the necessities get done.
8. Rebecca is a health-nut, and I love that about her. She is inspiration to those of us out in the world who...well, who are NOT. :) I also love that she's more than willing to JUMP off the wagon for a weekend or so to indulge in mexican food & girlie drinks with me!
9. I love that she's ready and willing for anything. If it's fun and she can get there - count her in! Rebecca makes friends everywhere she goes and is almost never uncomfortable in any situation....which makes for a fun person to be around!
10. Lastly, I just LOVE Rebecca. I can't imagine my life without her in it. She lives TOO far away, but at least she's close enough we can get to each other in a few hours driving time. I hope she knows (I think she does) how much she means to me and that whenever, where ever, and whatever I am here for her!! Love you girl!

We all need friends like you, to bless us, encourage us and love us so well!
