Another birthday tribute...

This time it's for one of my dear friends, Holly!

Holly and I have known each other since Jr. High, but have been really best friends since we were Seniors in high school. After high school Holly and I attended the same college and lived with each other our Sophomore year, we had a BLAST! Although, we did have a little bit of a falling out (mostly my fault), but thanks to some mutual friends (Carrie and Corrine), Holly and I reconnected and have been close ever since. Even though we missed about 2 years of each others lives, we were able to pick up and start all over again like nothing ever happened. To me that is a true testament to friendship.

I was blessed to be there when Holly married her wonderful husband Dean and become close with him and his wonderful family. Holly and Dean make a wonderful pair and compliment each other so well. They really are perfect for each other!

We were so lucky to have Holly and Dean standing by Mike and I for the beginning of our lives together, it was really awesome that both of them have become so close to Mike and could be in our wedding and be there for our special day.

I was truly honored that I got to share my pregnancy journey will Holly and be there for the birth of her TWIN boys, Caeden and Brysen. Those two boys really will know someday how lucky they are to have such a wonderful mommy like Holly. She is nothing short of amazing! She can handle EVERYTHING! I've never seen such an amazing multi-tasker :) She was also there with the rest of my family while I was delivering Jude. She really has become more than a best friend to me, she has become family. I'm so excited that our boys are only 3 months apart and that they will grow up together, and hopefully become best friends!

Holly is an amazing, strong, smart, beautiful, kind, genuine woman. She will do anything for you and expect nothing in return. No matter what time it is or what she has going on she will always make time for you. I can't even express how lucky I am to have Holly as one of my best friends and that she is in my life.

Happy 30th Birthday my beautiful friend!!! Welcome to a new chapter in your life!!! Love you!
