Happy Birthday to my bestest friend Stephanie
Today is my best friend's 20th birthday. We have been friends since we met at age five. She will never know how much she means to me. Stephanie you are the best friend a girl could have!!! I remember when we would go to each others houses and play our imaginary games about princesses, and star wars. The time when we had a sleepover with me you and Hannah at your house, and we thought we saw batman outside the window and we were so scared. Makes me laugh to think about it, me pinching y'all with my toes and us giggling and laughing. I miss our little birthday parties from when we were kids. I remember us getting in trouble at the nursing home with your parents, because we were giggling and reading books during the preaching service, and afterwards while at the grocery store we tasted the coffee beans cause they smell soooooooooooo good!!! Haha we spit those out immediately :) Our little clubs we started, where we would both be the leader so neither of us would be mad. Our rules about being kind, and always being obedient to our parents...our innocent little minds, so precious. You taught me how to crochet, and use your little weaving loom, you taught me how to be kind, and polite(my mama always commented on how well behaved you were and it made me jealous of the attention, so I would try to be better heehee, it worked!) you have always treated me with respect, and have been so honest with me, and i love you for it. You are one person who I can trust with anything. And when my family moved here to Texas, I missed you dearly, but our friendship was more than just childish playing, because it lasted even through all the miles we were apart. I keep the letters from you in my keepsake box(i'm working on a scrapbook for them now I have some from when we were like six). And when your family finally came to see us, and we had not seen each other in years, we said we wont let it be weird! We will be just as good of friends as when we were little, and we were! Staying up til way too late talking about everything under the sun, from boys to food, to talking about our futures and what would happen in our lives, what we hoped for, and what we planned. The next time we saw each other was after a few more years, and that's just how it has been, every couple of years we see each other, older, wiser, but still the best of friends. Last time I saw you was at your wedding as I stood by you as your maid of honor(makes me want to cry when I think of what an honor that really was) you being so grown up, with the love of your life, ready to begin your lives together. I remember thinking, If he hurts her, I am going to punch him right in the face lol. But lucky for him he has treated you good, and has taken care of you and little Amelia. I so cant wait to meet her, if she is anything like you I know she is a wonderful child. The next time I see you we will once again be a little older, a little wiser, and have more life experience, but we will still be the best of friends, always and forever, and when we get to Heaven we can live right next door to each other, I'm sure if we ask Him God will let us, lol. So I have said all this to say, Happy Birthday Stephanie Marie, you are the greatest friend.
