I am so thankful for the friends I have in my life! I am blessed to still have contact with friends from elementary school, high school, college, and the 4 jobs I’ve had over the last 20 years! In all cases, I still see these wonderful people at least a few times per year and in some cases way more than that.

My main gang: they are a mix of friends from elementary school, high school and college. They are a kind and amazing group. Most of them have become dads just like me and are fantastic fathers. While we don’t see each other as often as we’d like, I know that they are always there for me and I’d do anything for them! They make me laugh, they make me smile, they make me happy. They are smart and successful, which keeps me striving to also do well. They are all ethical and accepting of people who aren’t exactly like them. They are good people and I love calling them friends. We have so much history together, it’s a lot of fun sometimes to just chat about the past.

I can still call some of my colleagues from each of my last 4 jobs friends, whom I still see a few times a year. In all cases I love the fact that when I do get to see them we pick up right where we left off and always have a great time! They are such good people, I love seeing how they have grown in their careers and personal lives. I especially enjoy getting together and laughing all evening!

In the last few years, we’ve also become friends with some of our neighbors. It’s crazy how well we get along. They are fun loving just like my wife and I. We get together from time to time and always have a blast! Our kids play with each other which helps out a lot.

I am so grateful for having all these fantastic people in our lives. It really makes life fun and gratifying!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
