Do you know this guy...No...? Well you should! He's the coolest guy I know...no offense to any of my guy friends...but this guy rocks and I'm so thankful for my friendship with him...not only are we friends but we're family! :) Disclaimer about picture...Justin we need a new one! This picture was taken when I went to visit him in Colorado...October 2009 I believe...we've changed in a good way since then. But that's not what I'm about to write about...
It takes one phone call; it takes one email or text message to change things. To put things into perspective. To help you remember that it's not all that bad. I am so blessed to have two cousins in my life. My mom's parents had/have 5 grandchildren...my two older brothers, I and my two younger cousins. I'm in the middle regarding age. Each of us is very different in our own way but we do have similar traits in life as well. Over the years Justin who is the youngest...we've formed a close friendship. I am forever thankful for this. I'm thankful as we've gotten older that our friendship has grown and we have a respect for each other, not only as cousins but as friends.
Last night I had the opportunity to catch up with him. I look forward to these phone calls...even though sometimes we play a wicked game of phone tag. But our conversations can be everything from the small things such as the day to day....even the deep parts of life, our careers, families, relationships. I have grown to appreciate Justin's outlook on life and know that at the end of the conversation we'll be praying for each other till we talk again.
I was honored to be able to be apart of his wedding this past summer...to celebrate the exciting times in life...but also being able to support each other through the dark times. I'm proud of who he is, how he represents himself and how he lives his life. I'm thankful to not only call him my cousin, but my dear friend.
I'm thankful to have the family that I do. Though we might not always get along...show me a family that does! But I am thankful for the friendships that are formed in our family....I am blessed
