Happy Birthday to My BFF!!!

 
Posted by Picasa


I remember...

meeting you for the first time almost 5 years ago at the Taylor's house for Suppers for Six

connecting with you right away and having so much fun getting to know you

celebrating every single birthday of each of our kids (that's 9 birthdays!)

the baby showers that we have thrown together and gone to together

when you told me you were pregnant with Ty

going to Hawaii on our amazing vacation with you and John

visiting you in the hospital when Ty was born

all the times you called me and wrote me notes during my 'dark time' before I got pregnant with Allie

driving to your house to tell you I was pregnant with Allie (and crying finally happy tears with you!)

going to see Sex and the City with you and the girls when I was days away from giving birth - and the subsequent teasing of me in my zebra shirt, haha

you being there when both of my girls were born

Sienna's newborn photo shoot - the fiasco with the hanging fabric, getting pooped on and Allie throwing Sienna off of her :)

gossiping about our favorite reality shows - Project Runway, Top Model, Real Housewives, SYTYCD (I could go on and on since we are reality show junkies!)

constantly trying to convince you how much you are missing out by not wathcing One Tree Hill!

the many (but not enough) double dates we have gone on with our husbands
our many traditional birthday lunches

video scavenger hunts with our Sunday night group

the day you told me you bought a pair of skinny jeans (I've always known you were a fashionista but never thought you would succumb to that trend!)

the millions of playdates, coffee dates, lunch dates and wine and dessert dates we have had

all of the times I have called you to vent and the equal amount of times you have comforted me, encouraged me and made me feel so much better

all of the times we have laughed together and cried together and just were silent together

Bri, I am so thankful for you and thankful that you are in my life. I honestly don't know what I would do without you. I love you and hope you (had) a happy birthday!!!

You know something weird? I almost never check our family blogs anymore but today I thought, "I'm going to check out Heather's blog to see if there are any new pictures of Sienna... " and then I was surprised to find such a sweet tribute of memories!!!

I love you, I love you, I love you. I just can't seem to find any better words to describe how much you and your friendship means to me. You know what I think the best part is? That it is so effortless. It's just normal and natural, and so comfortable in our friendship.

Isnt is amazing to think that it was totally God's plan for us both couples to be at the Cafe 2:1 that Sunday morning? It changed everything!! :-)

Love you!!!
