I Haven't Laughed so Hard

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time as I did this weekend. All around it's been a long time since I had a streak of hard laughs. That's what happens when you get to spend 48 hours with someone who you've known for 15 years. Sometimes I think that my friend knows me better than I know myself. I know this, it's truly a gift to have a friend like that. Sometimes you need someone who can help you to level your head. Someone that takes as much pride in your accomplishments as you do. Someone that you can be just as proud of. I am very fortunate. I can't help but think sometimes what I ever did to deserve a friend like that or really how someone like me ended up with a friend like that. To be included in so much that's important... friendship is something I really value. More as I get older. It's especially great to have a friend that you grow with and kind of go through life with; as it changes, as it gets a little out of hand, as it gets better, as it gets different.

Today is Dan's birthday and we celebrated with steaks, a little football and now we're watching a classic comedy. Plus, Dan got a Favre jersey for his birthday. Life is good. Lucky to have Dan... how does he ever put up with me?
