For a Friend's Birthday

Hot Faith has a birthday coming up this week. Can you guess her age this year? I know I am starting to lose track, probably because more important than knowing her age is the time I get to spend with her. Here are just a few things I love about my friend.

1. We enjoy a lot of the same things and often do them in each others company (girl therapy at its finest!) - wine, sushi, coffee, lists, post-its, nail polish, Tori and flipping through magazines.
2. Friday Morning coffees - we haven't done these regularly in a while, but having coffee with her in the mornings is probably my favorite way to start the day.
3. She knows me - and gives me my space, picks me up (literally and figuratively) when I need it, holds some secrets for me (there aren't many) and usually has the best medicine for a stressed out mommy.
4. Faith is the kindest hostess, making sure everyone could have anything they possibly need and enjoys doing it.
5. Our giddy, girly, catty emails get me through the work day.
6. Geeking out to Twilight with her. I am not sure I should have admitted to that. :)
7. Her love of pop music/tv/culture keeps me connected to what's hip.
8. Faith loves working on that farm and I love that she loves it so.

I always tell Faith she is like the sister I never had. I love sharing clothes with you. I love having coffee with you. I love geeking out with you. I love calling you my friend. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthmonth, Friend!

I love my wonderful friend, Faith so much, it's ridiculous. Allow me to show you some reasons:
1.) We're very photogenic together, as seen below. All photographs with dear Faith and I are an awealot amalgamation of adorable and conceit.

2.) We're classy ladies. We proved that during our stint as politicians' wives. Just the right amount of wine, not enough buckets of rum.

3.) Our ability to knowingly be terrible influences on each other. For  example, you'll notice there are two empty buckets underneath the one with rums in it. You'll also notice we don't have owl tattoos, this is not because we decided it was an unreasonable plan to get wasted at noonish and get impromptu tattoos. It's because Tim pulled the iPhone card. Still got a great day with my friend out of the deal.

4.) Look how cute we are!

5.) I just know we would have had a blast at childhood sleepovers together. Mostly because we have so much fun at grownup sleepovers together.

6.) We have so much fun no matter what we're doing. I'm so happy to have such a marvelous friend that will never leave me for a baby (not that I think the rest of you have left me). We're the coolest aunts around, even when we're by ourselves.

I love you, Faith. I'm so lucky I had to nerve to make you talk to me just over three years ago, now I have an amazing lifetime friend. Happy birthday and I can't wait to have a beer or five to celebrate.
