happy birthday girls

okay, i know this is late...but,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

thanks for such a fun time this summer! my life would not be the same without you! both of you have taught me so much. we have shared laughter, tears, probably shed some blood together, we've served together, eaten together, prayed together, cooked together, took roadtrips together, watched some GREAT movies together, celebrated holiday and birthdays and made loads more memories together...i could go on forever.

you are truly my sisters! i loved staying up late talking with each of you this summer. sharing ideas, talking about new projects and rehashing old ones, giggling, and really seeing how we each have changed for the good since we saw each other last. you guys are my inspiration on so many levels. there are times when i face obstacles and think...what would they do if they were in this situation. when i think of you, i think of this quote by anais nin...

..."each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."...

thank you for being who you are! for opening new worlds for me...and teaching me how to be a friend!

Happy Birthday Girls!! may your year be filled with joy and wonder!

ps...you are both really old!!
