Angie J.

This post is all about Angie J., who holds a special place in my heart. Although we haven't known each other all that long, I feel like we are long-lost friends. I met her through (word of mouth) my old friend Casey, who moved away from Fort Wayne several years ago. Casey would always talk of her good friends "Joe & Angie" and I knew that Angie went to my church, so one day I randomly saw her after church and said, "You're Angie! I'm Casey's friend Amy!" She must have thought I was a nut job, but it just clicked of who she was when I saw her and I had to say something. Yes, I am that random, but life's too short to miss out on opportunities to spread love.

Anyways, since that day at church, we became Facebook friends and then started going to Zumba together. We'd take turns car-pooling to Zumba and have great conversations about life. It turned out that we had many things in common and decided to have lil playdates with our kids, who are around the same ages.

We have met at the Mocha Lounge Little Friends' Room for the kids to play while the mommas have their latte's. It's great! We've gone to the mall together. I still remember when Olivia held Ava's hand and walked around the mall. Very cute! She couldn't stop talking about Ava since that day. Now they are in Tumble Bunnies together and they absolutely love it! Every Tuesday Olivia looks forward to her Tumble Bunnies class with Ava and Miss Nicole! Mommy looks forward to it too because she can get her girl time with Angie. It's ideal for both parties!

I just wish that Casey lived back in Fort Wayne so that we could have her family be a part of our lil playdates! XoXo Casey!

Anyways, back to this post, Angie is truely a good friend because she takes a genuine interest in others. She's always trying to find out ways that she can help other people. She's also very positive/uplifting and someone that I enjoy being around. She's generous with praise, smiles and love. Angie seems to appreciate the differences in others. I am a little scatterbrained when it comes to being on time and Angie understands that and I know that I need to work on that, but I appreciate her not getting upset when I am running around 15 mins. late. Ha~

Angie is open, honest and real. I feel like I can genuinely trust her. I thank God every day for our friendship. "A good friend Strengthens you with Prayer, Encourages you with Hope, and Blesses you with Love." Thanks for your fantastic friendship Angie! I look forward to many more years to come!
