Happy Birthday to my dear, dear friend Andrea! I thought I would revisit the last 14 years of our friendship! (Can you believe that it has been 14 years?) I only have digital copies of the last 8 years, so let's take a walk down memory lane over the past 8. One of these days I will sit down and scan in all of my photo albums so I can include pics from your wedding and our Westmont days...but until then...here you go!

Here we are at my wedding. You were my BFF that held a champagne bucket for me because my dress was to big to fit into the bathroom before the wedding. You earned superstar status on that occasion! You did what my blood sister couldn't do-thank you!
Here we are at Bar & Kat's wedding in Fresno. Do you remember the warbling turkey that sounded off while her cousin sang during the ceremony? It still makes me laugh thinking of it.
Ryan & Sara's wedding in Fresno. What I remember from that day was how HOT it was during the ceremony, and also how pregnant Jannelle was as well.
Adam & Jill's lovely wedding. I think that we need to find more friends to get married because apparently weddings bring us all together.
Annie's wedding shower. You were pregnant in this picture and didn't even know it yet! :0)

Annie's bachelorette party in LV. You just told us you were preggers, and you had that fantastic glow to you!

Annie's wedding! What a fun weekend that was. (Look! I found a picture with the bloggers all together-Me, Nicole, Lisa, Annie, you, and Molly!) You were telling people that you were pregnant which was very fun.
Elsie's baby shower! I remember thinking that you were DEFINITELY having a boy, but boy was I wrong! And I am so glad that I was-I have loved watching transform as a mama over the years. Love it!
Here we are visiting while you were preggers with Brynn. This was the visit that I got to meet both of the girls!
Skip forward too many years, and here we are in lovely San Diego just a few short months ago. When we all got together it was as if time had not passed at all. We could all still be our quirkey-funny selves and be loved for it.
No matter where our paths take us, we will be friends until our time is up. I know that I am not the only person who thinks this, but I am so lucky to have you as my friend. Your willingness to give to others, and your sweet sensitive soul are two things that I adore-ney-love about you. Thank you for choosing to be friends with me. Happy Birthday Andrea! I hope you have a wonderful day.

I love the pictures and the trip down memory lane. (but OMG the baby shower picture is horrid! no way, was I really that puffy!?)
You are an amazing person and I love everything about you...after all, you're my soul mate and we'll always be friends :o)
Thanks for the 'tribute' and for making me cry...just a little ;o)
What a sweet trip down memory lane!
And I agree- we need more weddings to attend!
Andrea, holding the bucket under Allison's wedding dress while she pee'd was truly a display of your loyalty!! What a devoted BFF! :)
Andrea, I hope that you had a super, super birthday!!!
(And I look pretty puffy in these pics too, though I was not pregnant!!)
OMGOODNESS!!!! I LOVE this post!!!! I certainly LOVE Andrea and wish her a happy happy birthday! Looks like i am a day late!!! Sorry pal! Oh this made me cry and cry!!! So sweet! Gosh, the pictures make me feel puffy now :) and OLD! :)
I have always loved being an honorary member of the A team (don't forget I was initiated in vegas :)) and the love you all have for one another is so incredibly special!!! If I was a betting woman, which I kinda am, I would say that you all will be bestie's til the end of time!
