Stacy Suzanne

Happy Birthday to my dear friend!! I remember the first time I saw you at cheerleading try-outs before our freshman year of high school. I couldn't figure out why somebody's little sister was there trying out. :) (For those of you who didn't know Stacy at this point, she was about 2 feet tall and weighed all of 4 pounds.) What I didn't know was that we would have a friendship that would begin that week and would be cultivated to last a lifetime. I am so thankful for you!! We have had many great times. I'll never forget classes with you, yelling at Pegi because she was fat, going to BK every tuesday morning Jr. year and eating in your mom's room, sleepovers at your dad's, riding everywhere in Big B, getting pulled over for doing like 12 things wrong, running out of gas and having to push your car up the hill by school, MEXICO and the cucumbers, almost dying with Erica, cheering (why were we of all people cheerleaders for FOUR years??!!), going to the beach, you "helping" me on my tests in Mr. Suter's class and so much more! I'll never forget when you told me you were engaged and I screamed from downtown Gresham to my parent's house! You were so beautiful on your wedding day--thanks for letting me be a part of that. You are an amazing mother and wife; both Jason and Piper are so lucky. I love that you are just as crazy as me. Thanks for understanding my love of sharpies, only being able to write with a blue pen and hatred towards odd numbers! Thank you for being a friend no matter what. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder--especially when I call you in the middle of a breakdown and invite myself over...I don't know what my life would be like without you as my best friend. I do know that you make my life richer for being in it. I hope that turning 26 is fabulous and not as scary as I think it's going to be...(When did we get this old?!) I love you!!!!
