Me, LaSallee the Bartender (yes, I had written his name on the back of the original photo), Kate, and Kelly-Spring Break Cruise 1994
Blue jeans!  Denim on denim!

Me with super short hair, Susan, Kate, Kelly, and Maggie Kansas City 7.8.95

Um, yeah.  Not one of the greatest nights in college but Kelly and I had to get the obligatory "party pic" and we now have a special bond after having suffered through this together.

I love this photo :)

Kelly, me, and Susan...I know this is in Mexico but was it for Kate's wedding trip?  I think so...

Maggie, me, and Kelly in LA for Ambie's Wedding October 2010
Happy Birthday, Kelly!  You are quite possibly the kindest woman I know.  I remember first meeting you as kids in elementary school at Maggie's birthday parties and then junior high brought us all together at the same school.  Dance parties in your parents' kitchen, your amazing deer spotting eyes, Mizzou frat parties, PT massage day, your wedding, and getting to see Ms. Evelyn every time I come back home are times with you that stick out most in my mind.  Thank you for all these years of friendship and support.   I hope you have a very, very, very, Happy Birthday!

P.S.  Cannot WAIT to see you next month!

I'm seeing a trend here. You've put a lot of work into these posts for Kate & Kelly...don't worry, no need to continue for me!

Oh, and I think the Mexico pic has to be Kate's wedding. The only other time was Puerto Vallarta and I know I wouldn't have had that t-shirt then :)

Wow - my very own post! Thanks so much, Jessica! These pictures are hilarious. I am SUPER impressed that you remembered the name of the guy from our senior cruise. And, yes, I'm pretty sure that picture of us in Mexico was Kate's wedding. Good times, all of those pics (even the Fiji Island one - only you can understand how random and wierd that night was!). This post is so incredibly nice - thank you, thank you, thank you! And I can't wait to see you next month (a month from TODAY - YAY!!!). Good times ahead in CoMo!
