Best Friends EVER!

I have the best friends and family a girl could ever ask for. Now I know that everyone says that and I'm sure you're saying to your self, "Ya, right I'm sure they are very nice, but can you REALLY say that they are the BEST?" Yes I can and Yes I just did! Let me expand a little...
(disclaimer: Now I've had brain surgery and have recently had back surgery I'm on heavy drugs and my memory has never been...well...I'll just say it GREAT, so if I forget about anything somebody has done for me it's not that I don't remember your efforts and service to me it's just...well I don't remember your effort and service to me and I'm sorry!)
...For a few weeks I've been getting ready to go to Colorado. I've been a bit stressed with trying to have the house clean and the girls packed so I didn't have to come home to a messy house and the girls had all their things for school while staying with my wonderful mother who took them for me. And of course I left everything to do until the last min. because well..I didn't say I was perfect! Who should knock at my door but Lynae. In 3 or so hours she cleaned more of my house then I could do in 3 weeks! She ran up and down stairs and helped me get ready to leave! And when I called her to ask her for help this is what she said, (Now just imagine this in a Disney princess voice) "Oh, I'm so glad you called I am just so happy to come over and help you thank you so much for calling me!" The girl is thanking me for asking her to come clean my house...for free!
On the Wednesday before we left Amy A. texts me and tells me that she is watching my kids for me so that Josh and I can go out to dinner before we leave! It really was so thoughtful of her to let Josh and I spend time together.
Then on the day Josh and I were going to leave Heather comes and gives me a gift bag full of things that I will need for my trip, including: One trashy magazine (because you always feel better about your life when you read about how celebrities have screwed up theirs), and a variety of fat-free candies so that I can snack on them!! Then Amy comes over and gives me another going away gift, she made me rice crispy treats and her and her kids made me a get well soon card!
While we were gone I had no worries about my kids being safe or getting to school or where they were because as previously mentioned my WONDERFUL mother watched my kids for me during the week and then my AMAZING sister-in-law Lisa came all the way out here and picked the girls up and watched them over the weekend, then drove them all the way back down here on Monday.
When we returned we found that our generous home teacher mowed our whole lawn for us and that some unnamed friends broke into our house and cleaned the whole thing, vacuumed and all! I can only assume that it was Lynae and Amy G. Amy a while ago learned how to break into our house, they are the best house robbers ever they clean everything!
We were home only a little while before Amy A. and Amy G. came over with a sign for me and my favorite things: cubed ice and frozen yogurt! My amazing sister-in-law Lisa not only brought me my kids back but brought homemade chocolate peanut butter cupcakes and get well cards made by my kids and hers! This is the my sign Amy and Amy made for me!I am overwhelmed by the many prayers and offers of food that have been sent our way. I am blessed to have all of these extraordinary people in my life and only hope that I can rise to meet their standards!
