We met freshman year of high school. Is your brother Brandon? I’m pretty sure he’s dating my sister Christine. The rest was history.  Countless 311 concerts, very sketchy, yet highly appreciated, trips you took to ODU to visit me, shopping trips we always pretend we can afford, and many margaritas later… we’re still BFF. You encouraged me more than anyone to start this blog and that is exactly why I love you. Even though I KNOW you want to take your big red middle (soon-to-be-high-school) english teacher pen and mark all over everything I write.  Today you’re the big two-five!  I’m bringing you a dozen of the photo below and you will NOT give me the “Are you freaking kidding me, right now?! It’s almost summer” look.  You will eat these treats and enjoy every minute because YOU DESERVE IT!!! Happy birthday, best friend!!!!! xoxo
