Happy Birthday Amanda!

Today one of my oldest and dearest friends turns 30! I know, I know. . .I am not supposed to say that but she has actually been looking forward to being 30 for quite some time so I wanted to give her a shout out here.

Amanda and I met freshman year of high school, but it wasn’t until our junior year that we became good friends. I had no idea when I walked into that horrible chemistry class I would find a friend for life. . .but I did! We slowly started hanging out a little here and a little there and now. . .14 years later we are still friends.

I did my best to dig up old photos but to be honest I have hard time finding none digital photos from those days because they are all in scrapbooks, but here’s are the few I could easily find.

This picture is from right about 13 years ago, because it was her little sister Hillary’s birthday. This is me with Amanda, Hillary, John & Josh. . .all of Amanda’s siblings.

This is Amanda and I on our trip to London, we’re at the Tower of London. Eric was nice enough to watch Ainsley all by himself so we could go in January of 2004, but this wasn’t our first trip overseas together, if I could find them I would have posted pictures from our trip to Europe senior year of high school.

In December of 2005 her family was complete with the addition of Brynn and Emma. . .and no don’t ask me which one is which in this picture. I can tell them apart now when I see them in person or in pictures but this far back I don’t think I can do it.

Happy Birthday Amanda. . .one day I’ll be as old as you! 🙂
