{Day 222}

It’s a special number day. Post 222. 😀  For those of you that have been reading for a while you know that I have a thing with numbers.  And there’s one of my friends, Elizabeth, who “gets” my weird number obsession because…she has it too.  Have you ever seen Anne of Green Gables?  If not then you’re missing out.  You see Anne and Diana, in the movie, are bosom friends and kindred spirits.  Well Elizabeth (or Lee as I call her) is my kindred spirit.  I’ll never forget the first time I met her…  It was at a cast party for a musical I was in.  She had come as a favor for her brother and as soon as we’d exchanged hellos she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the game that was starting.  Yeah just like Anne did to Diana Berry in the movie.  So if you’ve seen that scene then you can pretty much picture what happened.  Except thankfully I didn’t have a glass of punch in my hand. 😉  And we weren’t wearing frilly dresses!  Ever since we’ve been the closest of friends.  She got married to an incredible guy and moved to Colorado last year and I haven’t gotten to see her very much since then but a few weeks ago I had the gift of getting to go see her and her hubby.  It was way too much fun! We laughed so hard I cried, blasted music with the windows down, tried to soak up lots of sun, talked about life and everything in between, explored Garden of the gods, went thrift store hunting, and enjoyed every second together.  She’s the type of friend that challenges me to be the best version of me just by the way she lives.  I need her.  Friends like her are a once in a lifetime sort of find.  So Lee, thanks for being my kindred spirit.  I’m so grateful that the Lord brought you into my life.  It was one of the most amazing gifts he has ever given me.  I hope you know just how much I love you.  Truly.

And in case you didn’t notice I set a new goal…  So yeah.  Do you think we should try to raise it by May 1st?  That was the day I started the dress project last year!!! Or by my birthday?  What do you think?  Hmm…can you all help me out?  I’ve decided to resurrect the 10.for.10 challenge. 🙂 If you want to take the 1o.for.10 challenge then all you have to do is get 10 friends to donate $10.  Yeah it’s that easy.  Trust me and just try it.  I think you’ll be really excited to see what will happen if you take this challenge.
