Eighteen years ago today, a beautiful little girl was born. She looked like a little fairy with her cute curls, and adorable smile. She also had a wild imagination,maybe that's why we were such friends. I don't remember the first time we met, but I'm sure there were fireworks and a rainbow. Or not.
Today is her birthday.
She's been a wonderful friend to me ever since I learned not to believe half of what she tells me. We've been through alot. Crazy adventures in the park, ACT stress, or just giggling in bed. Thank you for being a friend to me at all times.
May the Lord be your highest joy for the next year and many more to come. I love you very much.
By the way, the lack of a birthday card, present, phone call, or even the acknowledgement of your existence today doesn't mean I love you any less. Don't worry, I'm still getting around to all of that.

Redbox
This might come as a surprise to some, but I'm about as good with things electronic as an 80 year old woman. No joke. Someone had pity on me about a year ago and showed me how to copy and paste. What a beautiful day that was.
Now I'm sure that there is a place for computers and want not, but I like someone you can talk to. So I can say, "Excuse me Sir, this is the first time I've used one of these things, and I'm not all that smart so could you please help me out?"
Well, Mom finally allowed me to return a movie we had gotten from a Redbox this weekend. She gave me very specific instructions on how to use it, and I had forgotten them by the time I had driven to the mailbox.
When I arrive at Wal-Mart, there is an older man with a MSU cap on in front of me returning a movie. I start trying to watch how he does it without letting him see that I'm watching him. Unfortunately, he sees me.
"Do you know how to use these things?" he asks.
"Actually I'm watching you."
We both look at each other, then at the big red box. He starts trying to push his DVD into every slot visible.
Finally I say, "Oh yeah! Mom told me to touch the screen!" I poke the screen like it's going to come alive.
There was our problem. Now that box sucked that DVD in like magic. That old man was so nice, he stayed with me the whole time I was returning my movie. We were still both weary of this new electronic contraption.
We parted a little dazed and ready to be on our way.

As I was washing dishes one night, I was blessed to over-hear this lovely conversation between Emma and Dad. Emma was pointing out that most families have appearances that make it obvious who they're related to.
Emma started going down the list of families in our church to prove out point.
".....and you know, all the Greens have um, moles."
"Moles??" Dad and I both said.
"Yeah, you know. Moles on their faces and stuff."
"Emma, you might not want to go around saying that to alot of people." Dad said after a awkward silence.
After looking quite puzzled for a moment, Emma replied, "Oh wait, I meant dimples."
