HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 25...it still blows my mind that this is happening. Weren't you, Nicole, and I just sitting in Mia Maids together? And weren't you just sitting with Whitney and I in the Taylor Chapel telling us that you had met this amazing guy and were getting married? This is about the cutest idea I have ever seen and you sure have one loving husband who adores you! And why wouldn't he? I know through, weddings, babies, and jobs it has been difficult to keep in touch. But I hope you know that you are someone who no matter how long it has been since we have been able to talk or catch up I will ALWAYS consider you such a close friend. I can't even tell you how much I look up to you. I remember in Alluvial ward I wanted to be just like you. You embody so many qualities that I strive to attain. You are so caring, kind and compassionate and always have been. I read somewhere something to the effect of "a friend is someone who makes it easy to live the gospel." I immediately thought of you when I read that. Even back in high school, it was so evident in everything that you did that you loved the Lord. I am so grateful that I had you as an example through all those crucial years of my life. And even now I can tell (even if its just through instagram pictures:)) that you are an incredible mother and wife. Those two sweet boys of yours sure are lucky to call you their mom. Anyways, just thought I would tell you have much of an impact you have had on my life and I am sure on others as well. I have thought about you several times over the past few months because I know Harrison is not there but I also know that if anyone can handle this it's you! I am so glad that I can call you a friend. I totally wish you and I lived closer so our boys could be friend, too! So have an AMAZING birthday! Treat yourself to something delicious and watch unlimited amounts of Friends episodes.
Love and miss you!

PS. I wish I had some cute pictures to add. But I haven't uploaded any of my old pictures to this computer! But just imagine some ridiculous picture from girls camp circa 2005 inserted right here:)
