Karrie is so very...

Remember those lotion commercials?

Last Friday was my very dear friend Karrie's birthday, so this post is dedicated to her! (I am a week behind - don't take it personally Karrie!) Karrie is:

Kind

Adorable and awesome

Really super sweet

Rad (we are from the 80's!)

Ideal friend

Exceptional

That was kind of silly, but nonetheless all true. Karrie has been a terrific friend to me for practically as long as I can remember. I don't remember which year we met, but I know I have pictures of Karrie from our 6th day 50's party, so it's coming up on three decades. Wow - I am making us sound old. I still remember the surprise birthday party for you at your house when we all jumped out to yell "Surprise !" and you freaked out, climbed into the bathtub and cried you were so shocked!

Karrie is a loyal, considerate, thoughtful, honest, friend who anybody would be lucky to know. Karrie is great mom who loves her family and her friends with all her heart and puts others first. Karrie is so organized, that if I can't remember a date something special happened in my life from years ago, I can just call her and she'll have it written down somewhere! Ya gotta love that in a friend - she is like my own personal memory keeper!

I am blessed to have Karrie in my life and want her to know that I will always strive to be the kind of friend to you that you have been to me. I love you - you're the beatn'st!!

Me, Karrie, and our baby boyz!
