How would I ever get through a party without my awesome friends? Truth is, I wouldn't. I have not been able to pull off a party yet without help from at least one of my friends. Today was no different.
I didn't ask for one friend's help, I didn't ask for two friend's help, I asked for THREE different friend's help! I was so busy working on Natalie's cake that I did not have the time to run to the store like I thought I would. I also realized that I didn't have the party supplies, nor did I have enough frosting for my cake! It was a nightmare. Luckily, one of my friends was already heading off post to a store, and I asked her if she could grab the party supplies. She said that it was no problem. Then, my most awesome (and first) friend here sent me a text and asked if I needed something. So, of course, I gave her my commissary shopping list. The third friend is also a baker and was getting ready to get some stuff for her own cake, so I asked if she could grab me some supplies for icing, and she did. Then, when she showed up here for the party, I asked if she would hang out with the kids so I could go get pizzas, and she offered to go get them for me!
I will tell you, I have the best friends in the world. There is no better connection than that of an Army wife. We are there for each other. The friends who will bend over backwards, so far in my life, have been either current Army wives or prior Army wives. They all know what it is like and all know that we can't do it alone. So they do what they can to help, just as I do for my friends. It is how we all support each other and make it through this crazy Army life.
