Happy birthday Susan!


Please note big hair.  And the fact that I was wearing a happy face button as a brooch.  WTH?


Today my best friend Susan celebrates her 36th birthday.  I have known this woman since 1988 when she and I were mere 8th graders at Heidelberg Middle School.  Ah, the memories.  She and I have survived big hair together, being an army brat, finding our place in life, a 9 year separation, getting married, and having children. 

Now we are on to the next phase of our life!  We are hitting our late 30's and making big plans for a cruise for our 40th.  What a way to ring in our 40's!  I love this woman.  She is wise, a great friend and mom, and always giving, giving, giving.  She constantly has offered sage advice and I believe that with her knowledge and advice saved my marriage when it was going through a very difficult time.

Happy birthday Susan!  Sookie!

Oh my gosh! How did I miss this? What an awesome tribute. And boy, could I use your kind words today. I love you, love you, love you!

Lily saw the picture and said, "You have George Washington hair!" Nice.
