Day 03- A picture of you and your friends

Friendship is defined as a form of interpersonal relationship generally considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:

• The tendency to desire what is best for the other
• Sympathy and empathy
• Honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart
• Mutual understanding and compassion
• Trust in one another (able to express feelings - including in relation to the other's actions - without the fear of being judged); able to go to each other for emotional support
• Positive reciprocity - a relationship is based on equal give and take between the two parties

My Friends

I have so many wonderful friends, that I kind of didn't like posting pictures today. I say this because I don't have easy access to all of my pictures on my computer. With that being said, just because your picture isn't below doesn't mean you aren't loved by me!

As you know this is my husband and my best friend in the entire world: Mr. Joseph L. English. This picture was taken May 2011.

Below are 2 of my best friends from college from left to right: Autumn, Amanda, and Jessica. This picture was taken in September of 2010.

This picture was taken at our wedding in August of 2008. These are 5 of my oldest and closest friends. From left to right: Becky, Amanda, Zack, Autumn, Michelle, and Lauren.

Here is a bunch of our friends from our bible study group. This picture was taken Christmas 2010 during our holiday party "Who Killed Santa?".
