Another Five!

Yesterday, I wrote that one of the five things that makes me happy is my friend "JP" (you know EXACTLY who you are!). JP and I met on our first trip to Russia to meet the Beautiful Russian Princess Julia, the Senator and the Khan. We just hit it off - because unlike me she's not shy - and have been friends ever since.

Here are five reasons WHY I love JP!

1. She is passionate! Her relentless advocacy for children (and adults I suppose) affected with cleft lips and cleft palates is inspiring! Not only does she seek cleft affected children that need parents and bring them to her family (and those two are GORGEOUS!), she has made caring for them her career path. Talk about a woman of ACTION! Speaking to a whole group of medical pros without peeing your pants is no small feat woman! I don't think I could do it.

2. She's caring. She's a great mom, a great wife and a great friend.

3. She's awe-inspiring! She's a peds nurse and she is totally committed to what she does.

4. She loves me! I still don't know why, but I'm glad she does!

5. She's fun! She's the kind of friend who couldn't bail you out of jail because she's probably sitting next to you saying "We really messed up!"

XO JP. Thank you for being a great friend.

Good Lord woman!!! You make me sound like a saint when I'm anything but! Of course me sitting next you in the pokey is probably the truth--and would take away my sainthood--but still!!! HAHAHA--it's easy to do soemthing you feel passionate about. My kids are the second best thing I've ever done in my life--Ted being the first of course. Now, the MD I've been working with in referring people to me for information about clefts! When did this happen??? Now if I could just get paid for it!! Lisa, I'm just plain lucky that's all it is. And my dear, I'm very lucky to have you as a friend. You are a important special person and don't forget it!

That is probably one of the best descriptions of true frindship I've ever seen. Lucky both of you to have each other.

Oh believe me JP, I know you're no saint. If you were it wouldn't be as much fun being your friend;)

I just thought it'd be nice to hear good things for a change!
