Melinda,

When I think of my childhood, high school, college, and even beyond, so many memories are made better because you were there. I remember years of Primary classes together. I remember making a pact in high school that we wouldn't go to drinking parties. I remember when you would shove Frisky in my face and tell me to "just love her!" And too many memories from college to count.

Even though you've forgotten a lot of this, don't worry. I'll always be here to remember for you. And if you call one day and ask me the name of "that girl with blond hair who we didn't like but who knows why we didn't like her" and I can't remember, I'll just call Brooke. She'll remember.

Happy birthday, friend. I love you.

P.S. Sorry for the plethora of pictures. Just be glad I didn't pick any from high school.

At Bead's parents' house for Easter, after the Dark Crystal incident. Apparently, you really liked your juice.

Beauty pageant-ready. Except for Beda, that is.

I have no idea what's going on in this picture.

Very fun! And I vote for high school pics! I think Neelie didn't include them cause then she might be in the picture as a teenager. :)

Thanks for the wishes. I read this yesterday but didn't get to comment until now. Why are we all in gowns and Bead is like that? What is wrong with her? Seeing these photos makes me think we should just do a blog to all these old photos. Priceless and pathetic at the same time.
