The Burleys

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you are so very thankful for the people God has placed in your life? This has been one of those weeks for me! I have TONS of wonderful friends and family who support me, and this is in no way a comprehensive list of the special people in my life. But for today's Friday Five, I decided to list five people I've been especially thankful for this week who make me smile!

1) Kelli

Kelli is my best friend, and I love her with all my heart! I think people at church truly believe we are attached at the hip and are incapable of acting or making decisions independent of each other. She is my shopping buddy, my gossip buddy, my math-impaired buddy (seriously, we have issues trying to figure out percentages off during sales!), my mommy buddy, and so many other things. She makes my days brighter.

2) Beth

Beth is my true heart friend and is such a Godly example for me! We "get" each other and can talk about anything! We really believe at times our husbands were separated at birth, so that gives us lots of things to laugh about. I go to her for advice and know she will always tell me things that are God-centered and just what I need to hear (even if it's not what I WANT to hear)!

3) My sister, Lindsay

I love my sister and wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. I call her all the time just to rant, complain, laugh, fuss, bounce ideas off of, etc. She always listens and always make me feel better. She is the greatest!

4) Sarah Ellen

SE was my sister's college roommate. I just love it that she and her husband joined our church and now have become some of our very good friends. She is just such a fun person to be around and is such a dedicated person.

5) Stephanie

Stephanie and her husband recently joined our church and are quickly becoming some of our favorite people. She has one of the sweetest spirits and just makes me smile with her kindness and enthusiasm. Plus, the girl can sing, and I love to hear her!
