My Melissa


Yup, that is what I call her.
I have claimed her (some people say she is “Ben’s” but that is just her husband...)

She is incredible.
A lifelong friend.
Pretty much a sister.
Thoughtful.
Loving.
She pays attention to details.
She goes out of her way to make you happy.

I love her.  And I am pretty sure she loves me too…She saw me at one of my worst moments…In labor, walking the stairs, pushing a baby out….She has seen me cry because my husband was deployed, she was there when I came home after the dog died, she has laughed so hard with me that we had tears in our eyes, she is the one that I know I could knock on her door any day and I would immediately be welcomed in regardless of what her day was like or what she was in the middle of.  She is one of the first people I think of when I am scared or have great news to share.  She is my friend, and I love her.

She made my day the other day…A small box was on the doorstep; full of little items with Melissa written all over them!  Little notes on each item letting me know she is thinking about me….It’s our sister box.  I can’t wait to send it back!
 (yes, the chocolate is already opened...)


(bracelet is from Melissa...The ring is from Steve...Just to clarify for those of you who may not know)

All I have to say now is... JANUARY!!!
