July 13 - Happy Birthday Star!

Happy Birthday Star!

I met Star through my current job at the American Rhythm Center. Pretty much her entire family taps there so it was enevitable that I met her. 

Did I mention she is an AMAZING tap dancer! 

I have only known Star a few months so I can't say I have a favorite memory of her yet but I will say that I have very much enjoyed getting to know her and hope that our friendship continues to grow.

July 8 - Matty!!!

Happy Birthday Matthew! 

I met Matthew through my good friend and college roommate Jessica. Matthew and Jess went to high school together and I met him the many times I visited Jess and her family in Minnesota.

My favorite memory of Matthew is from Jessi's wedding this past fall. There were many great memories of Matthew from that night including drinking, lots of dancing and more but there is one that stands out in my mind. I wont go into graphic details but when I first saw Matthew at the wedding I asked him how life was going, what was new and well I hadn't seen him and a while and the "whats new" part of his life can only be described as the funnest coming out I have ever experienced in my entire life... 

I hope you have a great birthday! 

Love you.
