Happy Birthday Amanda!

25 years ago today, Amanda was born. Although, I didn't know her then, or for the 20 years following that for that matter. But I think we have made up for lost time in the last 5 years =)



The last four-five years have been filled with so much laughter, tears, and all out awe inspiring conversations. I've never had a friend like you. There are no words to tell you just how much you mean to me.

You're relationship with God has always been one that inspired me so much. When I first started going back to church, I used to pray that someday I would have as much faith as you do. I love that we can talk about all things related to God, that I have a friend who will pray with me, and for me.

((can I take a second from our program to comment on how different we both look here? LOL)

You've never been one to really talk about how you're feeling, well up until the last few weeks at least. (LOL) But you're actions have always been so clear to me. I know that I can count on you for anything.


This past year has been filled with so much fun with planning my wedding. Thank you, for everything that you did to help plan my amazing day. From designing the invitations to planning the BEST bachelorette party a girl could ever have. It was a weekend I will never forget, and I couldn't have planned it better if I had been helping with the planning.

You have brought so much good to my life, so many memories, so much love. You're one incredible woman. And any man who gets you will be the luckiest man in the world :0)

I cannot wait to watch you meet the man of your dreams, and fall in love. I cannot wait to be involved with your wedding planning, and do for you all the wonderfully amazing things you did for me.


I love you Slakes! Happy 25th!
