"A good friend is a connection to life ~ a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world"

Barb & Ashley 2008

I am in love with this quote! My best friend Ashley shared this with me the day before my wedding and it pretty much sums up the tie the bonds the two of us.  Friends are sanity, friends keep you grounded, lift you up when you are down and will stay up with you until 3 am just because you need someone to talk to.  I have the best friends in the entire world and I know I say this often, but is so true!

This can also be applied to my husband Joe.  He is the most grounded, real person I know and I am so blessed that I get to go home to him every night.
