Happy Birthday to my BFF, abigail89! I can't think of anyone I'd rather travel across the ocean with, or share a bed with or whose shoulder I'd rather cry on.

You guys are too much - I'm feeling overwhelmed by the love.

In addition to all the well-wishes I received, my darling shocolate sent me a mug that looks black until you put hot liquid in it and it says, "Your flist loves you more than string" in a string-type font. I will post a picture of it as soon as my hubby returns with the camera, because it is ( Read more... )
