Happy Birthday Stephanie...

Today is Stephanie's Birthday (from For Better or For Worse). I thought I would write her a little tribute to wish her a happy birthday. Stephanie and I met our sophmore year of High School. We had a seminary class together and we instantly hit it off. We had lots of fun in that class talking about "tater" and prom dates. Over the rest of our High School years we had fun going on group dates, having slumber parties, going to football games, and other activities. After High School we became even better friends. We worked at a frozen custard place together and had countless hours of fun scooping custard and cleaning. (I wish I had a picture of Steph in her scoopie uniform to post here, but alas, I don't.) We started college together and had fun haning out in the "Lounge of Love"...

going on double dates, sharing our boy troubles, and just having fun together.

(This picture is of us on Halloween when we dressed up as princesses to go to a college dance.) Most of my fondest memories with Stephanie come from working at a Children's Museum together. We had fun wearing funny costumes....

(I have some better pictures than that, but I didn't want to embarrass Steph on her birthday!) cleaning during shutdown, sharing more boy troubles, school tours, and other activities. We also ended up getting married about the same time. Stephanie was my Matron of Honor...

Our friendship has continued to grow since our marriages. We have fun talking about our little girls, our houses, craft projects, and anything else that pops into our heads (seriously, we could talk for hours!). Our friendship has been so wonderful and I am so grateful to have Stephanie as a friend. She is so outgoing, fun to be with, motivated, and creative, not to mention beautiful, caring and absolutely amazing. So here's to you Stephanie....I hope you have a fantastic birthday. I love you tons!
