I will never forget my thoughts when I heard she was moving to Alaska. Most everyone thought she was crazy and the rest didn't want her to go. I thought wow good for you - DO it!! Why not!!? Well that and minus the comment I made about moving cross country for a boy.
Whatever it took for you to make the move and now be in Alaska I am grateful for! You say you don't like change this may be true but you don't realize just how truly amazing you are at adjusting carrying on and living. You don't truly see your very own strength and just how strong you are. You are grounded in who you are and you know who you are yet you look right pass the greatness that lies in you.
Change is never something humans fully embrace no matter what kind of change it may be... Whether it be minor or major heartwrecking or the top shelf change we wish would always come our way. We look at it and say why! Well because no matter what change is in our path it forces us outside our comfort zone. It forces us to think live and simply be different than weare use to. But what we don't see is that with every change we learn alittle grow alittle and become alittle more. And what we once thought was our comfort zone just got a tad bit bigger... Until the next change comes along and repeats this action of events... Its never ending!
All I can say is now look back at the small comfort zone you once had soo very long ago... Back in the days you were just getting to know who you are. Back in the days of being a Miner. Thinking of all that has happened and all you have done to get you to where you are now. You my friend have always pushed yourself beyond what you thought were your limits. You challenged and pushed yourself to live outside your comfort zone. Moving to Alaska is case in point. Having friends like you in my life are a constant reminder to me that I am capable of living beyond the limits I see before me. You inspire me to soar in this life.
Thank you my Alaskan friend, for breathin the fresh nature air into my life and helping me realize there's soo much to this life to do see think and feel --- and most of the great stuff is found --- outside my comfort zone --- and in the result of change that never wanted to be fully embraced in the first place! That's usually how life goes. So trust your journey! Trust life... Its plans for you are even better than what you had in mind... And in order for you to get there you have to let go and yes my friend... Embrace change! I can only imagine what it has in store for you to come!!

Kunks
She's been my friend since grade school. We were playmates, classmates and teammates. We had our own little insides jokes and secrets that friends have. Little things that only have meaning to us like the locksmith in Medora. Just saying that sparks memories and I am positive can make her laugh thinking back.
This friend of mine she is a survivor! She is a fighter! She is kindness and compassionate. She is a lover and a giver. She is a fun and a breath of fresh air. She is a true friend. She is a daughter-sister and a mother! She is someone I am proud to call my friend.
Most know her as Dana Kunkel. I know her as Kunks - Dana Jo and sometimes well not for a long time DJ. She has had a struggle with her health but she never gave up. She suffered a great loss when her brother was taken far too soon but she still finds happiness laughter and love. She is someone who will support you, encourage you and believe in you. She is someone you know will always be in your corner.
Most of the time she has no idea the strength she carries or the will to live this life to the very fullest. She has no idea just how many lives she has touched and changed by simply just being her. She amazes me with her grace and beauty. And just when I don't think she can top herself she became a mother and she grew even more into this truly remarkable woman.
She's the kind of woman you are proud to have in your life and grateful to call a friend. Miles apart and yet she is still and always will be a special part of my life. For I know that if I needed her she would be there no questions asked. Just like she knows I would do the same for her. And those kinds of people. Those kinds of friends are always worth keeping around!! Because you know you can truly count on them. I know I can always count on Kunks!!

Britt
Brittany Michelle Eide - Zobb I met her sometime in grade school maybe frist or second grade. I can't really remember, because as far back as I can remember she's been in my life. We grew up together. We became the women we are now are today together. We were classmates, teammates, friends and sisters. We were partners in crimes.
When I think back over our friendship a smiles always forms. Because I realize that she is one of the few friends that havealways known me. She is in my past. my present and I know in my future. She's the friend that I know will always be in my life no matter how much time has passed or how many miles come between us. She's the now and forever friends thru thick and thin gal in my life. For you see she has grown into this beauty - the dropdead gorgous kind of gal but to me she's still the Brittany with glasses and braces as I am sure I am the dorky blond with glasses. To me she's the girl I spent my birthday's weekends and school days with. To me she's the gal who ventured to Iowa camps with. To me she's still the mix tape cruise main gal as I am sure I am the footloose playing driving in a one ton white truck. To me she's still the gal who knew me when I didn't even know who I truly was or who I would grow to be. To me she's the gal who knows the girl that lives in this now woman I see in the mirror. To me she's the friend that I can count on. She's the gal who has never once judged me. She's the gal who has always be faithful and true. She's the gal I know who always get me. She's pretty special to me.. because I know such a friend is hard to find. And to have such a friend for so long is pretty amazing.. But that's always been Brittany.... From the start I always knew she would be the friend that would always grow with me.
