stephanie

today is stephanie's birthday. to honor her, i want to dedicate this post to her and to our great friendship.

hot mamasitas!

wow, where to start. i first met stephanie when tom was doing an advanced internship with eyes & ears at disney. steph was one of his leaders and he always spoke very highly of her. i knew that she was very into music, and that she was a lot of fun, though i didn't get to experience that first hand, until several years later.

after tom and i moved to orlando, i found myself lonely and needing a friend. i didn't know it then, but God had brought stephanie into my life at a time when i needed her most. within a few weeks, she was coming to our house bearing gifts (she's always extremely thoughtful) and encouraging me to attend the farmer's market in winter park with her.

i could immediately see that she was cool, and that she was going to be so much fun to hang out with. we have had so many memorable experiences together. going to Coachella with {v}hat, buying the Mini, photobooths, concerts, movies, shopping, dog parks, restaurants, etc. what excites me, is that i know there are many more fun things yet to come! yay!!

more things that i love about her...

stephanie is and extremely talented writer and photographer. she is smart and respectful of people's views and opinions, even when she doesn't agree. she has such great taste in music and concerts (though i still can't get into Bright Eyes!), and she single-handedly brought me back from the dark ages of music listening and introduced me to a plethora of great bands.

most importantly, she is a devoted friend. she has such a warm personality. she is always willing to listen and advise when appropriate. stephanie always looks for the good in others.

we need more people like her in the world.

happy birthday steph! i love you.
