HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSERS!!!

I met Tessa when she was a freshmen in college - we had speech together with Professor Hockett (who was literally on the verge of death - the woman was SO INCREDIBLY old!!) That class was an experience to say the least - we didn't have class when it was raining - it was too difficult to hold an umbrella and use the walker!! We remained close friends throughout the remainder of our college years and then graduated together in 2007. That summer I gave Tes the keys to my car and left for World Changers expecting to come back and move into an apartment with her - but God had different plans and she was married SHORTLY after I returned home...so the dream changed - but I am THRILLED and BLESSED to consider Tes a friend even still! She has a husband and a baby boy now - so we're kind of in different chapters of life - but I still think about her often and cherish the years we spent growing together!

This is me and Tes about to do something crazy in college...we were big fans of the sweat bands!!Celebrating Tessa's 21st birthday with MAC makeovers and dinner at Rainforest Cafe in Downtown DisneyA little too much fun in the astro jump...WE ARE CRAZY!By far our best picture ever...this was taken on the Santa Monica Pier after a desperate attempt to see the Price Is Right! We adventured NUMEROUS times our senior year at Sea World in San Diego...SHAMU Santa hats are the BEST!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TES!! Hope you enjoy being the same age as me for the next 6 days!!! 24 is a good year - I hope you love it! ILOVEYOU!
