(18) Some of the most amazing friends in the world. When I moved to Minot almost a year ago, I was so fearful of making new friends. And now almost a year later, I can’t even begin to put into words how incredibly blessed I have been by God. God has brought so many wonderful people into my life. Some days it almost seems so unreal and I have to pinch myself. So thankful and blessed!!!
