and the greatest gift of all are my friends
today was my birthday and it was incredible. liz sent me roses from ireland and annie suprised me at my house with flowers and ballons and then i got to see gen's tatto. but i guess what really toped it off is an email i got. it was incredible. so i reflected on the past year and how much i have grown and i owe it all to my friends. but i realized today that it doesnt matter what you get but the people that you have to share and experience things with. over the past year i have grown sooo close to annie and liz. they have truley become my sister, my family, and i love them with all my heart. i thank god that i found them and that i have them. so tomorrow i will leave for florida for 2 weeks with annie and i could not be more happy or have had a better birthday or year because annie, liz, and paula- you guys above all make everything worth while.
