Thankful, Day 5

Day 5: I am thankful for our dear friends John and Lori. "Poppa John and G-Lo" adopted our family three years ago, in the absence of our parents, who live in California and Washington. John and Lori have fully taken the role of grandparents for our kids and are trusted advisors and the truest friends for Matt and me. They've been at every concert, play, swim meet, birthday party, hospital stay, and other special event. They join us for holidays. They just come and hang out. They babysit. They give wonderful gifts. They support, encourage, and love us. Their influence is profound, and words can't adequately express how grateful I am for them.
