Best Friends

Joe is special to me because he is my Best Friend and supportive of all my antics. We have fun wherever we go and whatever we are doing whether it is fishing, boating, Polar Plunging, Karaoke, volunteering to cook for seniors, having game night with friends or just simply hanging out and talking. When you enjoy the company of another person and they are so much fun to hang out with no matter where you are or what you are doing they are a very special person. I wouldn't want to imagine my life without my best friend - Joe.

Pine Nuts with McAvoy Layne: Surfing the perfect wave in Tokyo
