For Tonda



Well, I did it! I found my friend a new puppy! This is Teddy. Short for Teddy Bear! He is a yorkie and he's so precious! I almost kept him for myself. He's Abby's half brother. Brayden got way too attached to him & cried when I was leaving to bring him to Tonda. It was so sad! (He's over it now...we just have to go visit him.) I tied a blue bow around his neck & put him in an Arbonne box. I told the kids to stay in the other room as Shelby & I gave him to her. I told her right off the bat that if she didn't want "it," it was ok. When she opened the box, her face & reaction was priceless. The kids couldn't handle it & came into the kitchen. It was so sweet! I am so thankful for everything she has done for me...even though she'll probably think it's not a lot, it is. She is my mentor. The one I can trust when I need someone to talk to about 'teenage' issues. She's a single mom (with 2 kids) and she's the one I go to for advice. She's just awesome & I don't think she knows how much she means to me! So, Tonda - Thank you for everything...for being there, for listening, for sharing, for caring, for loving us unconditionally, for not judging, but most of all - thanks for being You. I love ya girl!
