Happy Belated Birthday!

I'm such a terrible friend. Not only did I not blog about my friend's birthday on the right day....I also didn't call her until the day after! Oops...hopefully she'll forgive me.
Anyone that knows me very well knows that Amber and I have been good friends for a Looong time.



We were partners in crime in college. Now that we live a long way apart we have to do our criminal activities solo and then fill each other in by phone. :) We still manage to get together on occasion (and as you can see, we don't waste time--we get in lots of shopping).



It's hard to believe that my dear friend is about to become a mommy! It seems like just yesterday we were planning our futures (marrying brothers and living in a duplex). We always said that when we're old and we're both widows (for some reason we were always sure we'd outlive whoever we married--sorry Tim and Bob) we were going to live in a cute little house on stilts on Jupiter Island (apparently the fellas are going to have great life insurance). Then we were going to totter around and entertain anyone who would listen to us. :)

Well, life doesn't always happen the way you plan it (now that we're both married I don't think either of us wants to outlive our spouses). But, one thing is for certain...I know we'll always be friends. It's so wonderful to know that when I need someone to talk to, or just to keep me awake when I'm driving in the wee hours of the night....I know that when I call....she'll be there. (sniff-kind of reminds me of a hallmark card).



Thanks, Amber for being such a great friend. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
