Bestie's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Bestie!! 50 and still going strong!

WOW!!! 50 seems sorta old, but it just doesn't seem like you're this old! (Seriously!)

Here are just 50 of my favorite things about Bestie:

~She likes to talk and we talk everyday - sometimes for just a few minutes, sometimes for hours - literally

~She's a great organizer and decorator

~She's not judgemental

~She has amazing endurance

~We are great friends even though there's a gap in our ages

~She doesn't act like she's 50 - but then when I think about how old her kids are and some of the things she's been through, she is very much 50.

~It seems like we've been life-long friends

~She's a great wife

~She's good at whatever she does

~She does nothing half way

~She's has inspiration and is inspiring

~She's an answer to prayer

~She always looks put together - One time I stopped by her house and she was just getting out of her car from doing yard work for her mother-in-law. She was sweaty, but her hair and make-up still looked good.

~She's SUCH a great sister - she has weird family dinamics, but that doesn't stop her from being a great sister

~She has great recipes!!

~She usually attends the temple once a week

~She's sentimental

~She does great nails

~We seem to never run out of things to say

~She's happy - there have been numerous times when we have laughed so hard our stomach was sore the next day

~She's fun

~She has great hair

~She's a great Primary President. She's always on top of things

~She collects Raggedy Ann and Andy

~She likes and has an eye for antiques

~She has an AMAZING voice. She sings so beautifully pure. It's really hard to describe unless you've heard her.

~She is content with what she has

~She's a mover and a shaker - she's fast. I'm still a little amazed when I watch her clean or something. It's done before I can even get out the broom. She runs from point A to point B and hurries once she gets there - but when we are doing a project, I never feel rushed. It just gets done quickly.

49~She almost ALWAYS gives people the benefit of the doubt.

~She is the best friend ever. I don't know what I did before we met or what I'd ever do without her.

Have the best birthday ever - you certainly deserve it!!! With much love.....
