Happy Birthday, Kristen!

Today Kristen Louise Gough is 26. I am very blessed to have known her for 20+ of those years! Some of my favorite memories:
-playing Barbies in the sunshine in my backyard
-the hundreds of times we met halfway between our houses
-telling ghost stories in the hot tub at her parents' house
-Sylvanian workshops
-swimming in the lake on Whidbey Island & riding the ferris wheel at the fair
-creating silly comic books together
-going early to school so we could play & sing on the piano in the back of the Loyal Heights auditorium
-standing across from one another being silly holding the doors open at the end of recess
-all the good times at the Emmanuel youth group (warm fuzzies!)
-and singing, always singing :)

Happy Birthday to a very special lady.

Wow! What a special birthday surprise, Eliza! I am grinning from ear to ear with all those wonderful memories. I love you so much, and continue to be deeply blessed by your friendship. Are we already in our twenties and married? Seems like only yesterday... :) You have shaped my life with your love, your joy, your honesty, and your generosity in undeniable ways!
