birthday girl!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS GIRL!!!

My work BFF, Alyssa!

Isn't she pretty!

(Especially when she's singing about Jesus!)

Alyssa and I's friendship started our first year of PT school. We lived in the same apartment complex..and became fast friends!
This picture was taken at the beach after gross anatomy summer. Excuse the roughness on my part.

Throughout PT school, we remained friends, and even found some time to practice our dance moves. Remember this night, Syss?


Now, 2 years after we graduated, I get the opportunity to see her every day. We work together...and not only work together, we share a cubicle. Isn't she pretty!

We are silly!!

And we love togas.

And poodle skirts.

10 things that I love about Alyssa:

1. She loves our God, and pushed me every day to become a better Christian!

2. She is really funny, and has an infectious laugh!

3. She brings me bright, fun socks to wear to work

4. She is such a great friend...to everyone!

5. She never forgets anyone's name. She remembers people from pre-k.

6. She loves to accessorize her outfits with fun jewelry

7. She always lets me eat some of her sweets she brings...or even her bacon!

8. She loves her sweet nieces and nephews...and loves to shop for them

9. She lets me call her doodle bug, angel bear, monkey bones, and any other silly pet name I come up with

10. She gives really good advice and always has an ear or a shoulder to cry (or pout) on!

As you can tell, I love this girl. I am so thankful that our friendship has grown so much over the past 5 years!

I am even going to sing at her wedding! Ha!

Love you, Syssa! You are more special than all the chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, and bacon in ALL the world. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!
