To the most amazing, awesome, brave, caring, smart and funny person I know: My very best friend, Shelly!
Shelly and I met in 2005, through our sorority:
In college, at a sorority event.
Shelly loves to be silly:
Designing trash bag dresses for another sorority get together in college.
Who knows what we're doing.
We like to bust moves like champions (Shelly is better than me):
Shelly loves to travel and see the world; she appreciates diversity:
NYC Central Park.
Disneyland
African safari.
Shelly is smart. She reads and listens and is constantly learning:
Shelly loves good food (and drinks!) and is a great cook!
A shared affinity for big beer.
Shelly is compassionate. She talks the talk, but also walks the walk:
Some of her girls camp participants. Shelly also designed the shirts!
Shelly loves animals - all kinds!
I'm not really sure what I did to deserve the friendship of such an amazing, wonderful person. Shelly is currently finishing up two years of Peace Corps service in Africa and will be coming home in just a few months! I miss her so much and even though we are apart on her birthday, I wanted to wish her a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love you Shelly - many many many happy returns! To the next seven years - and beyond!
