Back in January while Ryan and I visited our Colorado loved ones, I was struck by one of the many talents of my friend Mandy.

I first met my husband’s best friend 9 years ago. Ryan (the husband) was trying to get his nerves together so he could ask me to get some coffee, and Jeremy (the best friend) kindly intervened and encouraged me to stick around a bit so Ryan could come talk to me. Looking back at this [...]
