my non-IRL friends… #tht

Today marks a first on SIMPLE.  We are starting a Thankful Heart Thursday.  One of our newest writers Renee is spearheading the project and I am so thankful for her!

Honestly, I am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of the gals over there.  We are quite the hodge-podge, but mesh together so incredibly well.

Jaime and I got to know each other when our first daughter was born.  Now we talk on a daily basis and I’m so thankful for her.

Carinn and I have known each other for years.  our kids have grown up together and are great buddies.  I am so thankful for her friendship.

Emily is Emily is Emily.  I love her just how she is.  She is transparent and just a wonderful friend.  I know that she is there if I need to talk to someone.

Kate is from the farm lands of Ohio…she has cows in her backyard.  Well, not really, but it’s been a long standing joke between her and I.  I thought she lived in the middle of no where, and that’s not the case.  Kate is funny, wonderful, transparent and another wonderful friend.  I have never met her but I am so thankful for her friendship.

Jessica thinks much different than me but I am so thankful for her.  She gets me thinking about things differently and that’s what I need some times.

Ginny I have known since I was about 6 years old.  We grew up together and were neighbors.  We lost touch and reconnected thanks to the internet.  I am so thankful for her long distance friendship.  I am so thankful for her family that still lives next to my parents too.  I am thankful for her and her family’s spiritual example too!

Sarah is a new friend and although I don’t know her too well, I am thankful for her honest charater and truthful nature in ALL things! 😉 Love ya girl!

Sara I have known since college.  She is spunky and fun and I am so thankful for the fun character she will be bringing to SIMPLE.  And her crafty fun ideas!

Renee is a sensitive, wonderful, amazing person that i know IRL too.  She has given me a ton of knowledge and I am thankful for her knowledge because it has helped me out so much….let alone all the others she has helped!

Renee (Nee) is yet another new friend.  We met when our girls were dancing together.  She is fun, direct, outgoing and a great person – ALL around!

Melissa I don’t know really at all.  But when I have talked to her on the phone, I am thankful for her fun and direct conversations!

This isn’t typically what I will be writing about – but i wanted to let you know just how awesome the team is that we have over at SIMPLE!

Linking up over at Thankful Heart Thursday.
