More birthday lovelies

It looks like my blog is becoming one giant birthday card, but I just cannot ignore all of these wonderful birthday ladies.

Erin is my brilliant sister. We used to wear matching string "soul sister" bracelets that only came off once they disintegrated. She used to take Gary and me on crazy adventures to Sizzler while being pursued by the mysterious "Surfer Dude." What more could you ask for in a big sister?

Vanessa is one-of-a-kind, and one of my dearest, most specialist friends. We were roommates for all of college and have traveled the world together. When she laughs, her head flies back and her legs melt. It's one of her best qualities.

Happy birthday you two. You make my life brighter.
