Everyone needs a Shanna

As I have said before, I am blessed with some really, really GOOD friends. I have lots of girls I consider a "best friend" From home, from work, from school and from church. Today I am going to tell you about my friend Shanna. I met Shanna at Georgia Baptist. Even though she was a year ahead of me, we went to the same church. I think I really got to know her the summer between my Sophomore and Junior year. Shanna and I ( and like other people) were living in the dorms that summer to work. So we bonded over dark and scary hallways, and a mission trip to Brazil. I think this is when I learned one of Shanna's most recognizable skills. She is a master packer/organizer. ( I am very much the opposite) Since then, I think Shanna has helped me pack, move or organize countless times! Shanna is an ER Nurse, and pretty good in a crisis. One of the scariest nights of my life happened about 3 days after Noah came home from the NICU. He had been there for oh, 13 weeks. He came home with a feeding tube and a heart monitor. That night, his heart rate kept dipping into the 60s. Seriously low for a little buddy. So, I texted Shanna, hoping she was at work. ( She was) She met me at the Scottish Rite ER (she worked across the street) She kept me calm ( somewhat) and answered questions for me when I couldn't stop crying ( I was a little emotional and WAY exhausted)

Most recently, Shanna has been my "Monday" She comes over almost every Monday to hang out with me and the boys. We do everything from wrangling my twins, to cutting out coupons to watching TV and playing words with friends. It is pretty much my favorite day of the week! Today we organized 3 closets, my guest room, and a dresser. Way overdue, and she didn't make one peep about how random my "organizational skills" were :)

So , Shanna, I am lucky to have you as one of my best friends! Thank you for all of the time you spend with me and Nathan and Noah!

PS, they cried when you left!
