Happy Birthday, Lor!

I spent my afternoon with Lori (she is beautiful)--celebrating her 29th birthday (she is also a liar). I don't know how it happened, but I must be the luckiest girl in town to have her as my friend. I really have a hard time exposing my true self. It's one of my greatest faults and trials. Lori is one of very few people I feel comfortable doing that with. Oh, I'm so glad she hired me to work on-call at the flower shop over 10 years ago. I'm grateful that she looked past my nerves, quiet nature (if you can believe that), and insecurities. I'm grateful she taught me how to stand up for myself and to think before I speak. I'm grateful she is wise, willing, and genuine. I'm grateful she doesn't judge me or make me feel less than I am. I'm grateful she is a mom to 5 of my favorite beings. I'm grateful for someone to laugh with and cry with. I'm grateful for a wonderful day spent in her goodness.

Happy Birthday, sweet friend.

Love you!
