HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY "TOE JAM"!

A big part of enjoying life is surrounding yourself with people that are trustworthy, honest, fun, and wonderful. 

Today is my friend Kate’s birthday and I wanted my blog today to be a tribute to her– my dear friend.  Kate and I have technically been friends since 4th grade when we met on the bus that took us to and from our wonderful (not really) elementary school, London Towne.  We reunited in high school once again and I will never forget how great of a friend Kate has been to me.  I hope we look back 40 years from now, still friends, and remember the good times we have had. 

Examples include but are not limited to: our trip to Mountain Lake, falling over on the floor by the lockers after remembering the word “Smitty,” being scared of the moon shoes, the United We Stand concert, having you with me as a bridesmaid at my wedding, trips to the VA Beach (haunted house!), eating sandwiches with the crust cut off, the day you got your first car and we went joyriding around town, our breakfast at the diner in Richmond, our craft project on the stools that never got completed, and many many more.  I wish we could hang out more (hopefully we will be better about arranging visits this year)  Kate, you’re one of the best.  You know I love ya!!
