p.s.

this lovely childhood friend turned beautiful wife for wonderful husband, had a birthday today.
in honor of her celebration of life, i decided to list 5 reasons why i am thankful for her.

1. she not only believes in following her own dreams, but she encourages those around her to dream big. and i mean BIG. she believes that anything is possible with a little faith.
2. being her friend is such an adventure - you never know what it might entail: beach days, little road trips, recapturing youthfulness, coffee shops, babysitting, tears, laughter and the love bed!
3. she offers great advice. she deeply cares for her friends and there is nothing she wouldnt say to have them believe that. there is such discernment and wisdom in her counsel.
4. she has this a goofy laugh. its completely contagious. and sometime when she really gets going, she squeals. it swings between deep belly laughs and high i-cannot-breathe laughter.
5. whatever mood you are in, she will join you. happy, sad, mad, goofy, tired - she is there.

i am so thankful for your friendship! i cant imagine life without you in it!
happy, happy, happy birthday...
