Let me tell ya 'bout my beeeest friend...

With apologies to Adam, Ben W., Ryan O., Jay, and John...

I have been truly blessed through out my life with some awesome guys to hang out with. Each one has had their own unique impact on my life which they may never know or completely understand. I love them all very dearly. But tonight was another reminder of how lucky I am to consider Ben Heiden my best friend in the whole world. Today I went golfing by myself, something I have done before but as I left the course this afternoon I was moved to grab my cell phone and call Wolverine Lake. Ben and I have had more than a few good conversations over a round of golf. For over an hour Ben and I managed to talk about everything from faith to football, fatherhood to stupid movies we like. When you can just pick up a conversation with that amount of comfort like that, you know you have something special. I have that with several of my buddies and I want each of you to know that while I may not be the greatest at keeping in touch, that does mean something to me. This move to Texas has really been a check in reality, from impending fatherhood to distance from family, but one thing that has always been there and is as real as anything is the men I consider my friends.

I love you guys.
