Happy Birthday Mama!

Today is mama's birthday. Mama is the most unselfish person I know. You are so special to me and I hope you enjoy this photo tribute to your life.

Here she is, probably about 3 years old?





Mama is 8 years old in this picture, believe it or not. She looks so young!





Probably high school age here

I'm guessing this is the 70's because of the changing hairstyles











Mama was in movies! Here is an article about her in a movie with Burt Reynolds

Happy 30th birthday Shana!

Today is Shana's 30th birthday! I have known Shana since we were 4 years old. We have spent so much time together. Every summer was spent at her house, all day. We have more memories than I can recall and for that I am so grateful!

Here we are at Girl Scout Camp. I believe we were 5 years old

In the photo booth at Wal-Mart in 6th Grade. Shana and I lived down the street from each other and we would walk to Wal-Mart every single day. We'd always eat at the snack bar and just walk around the store. That seems so weird now, but it was our life. When I walk into a Wal-Mart now I seriously feel at home! I feel like they all have the same smell.

Shana always packed for me. In many ways she is like a mom to me. Here I am ready to leave for college and she packed my bags

Believe it or not, the three of us all went to different colleges. Emily went to Harding University, Shana went to Lipscomb University and I went to Tennessee. Here I am visiting Shana at her dorm our freshman year

Shana has been to LA to visit me so many times--of course everyone's first trip always includes the Hollywood Sign

Shana claims not to like dogs, but she likes Riley. She's even told me once that she missed him!!!

Shana always goes crazy at the Lakeshore store here in LA. I guess it's a teacher thing!

From Shana's Bridesmaid Album




Shana and I went to Taylor Christian Camp for years when we were younger. I took her back there the month before she got married because we said when we were little that we wanted to be "married and buried" there. This is the creek where Shana was baptized.

And then this is me trying to push Shana in the creek, or is it the other way around?

Here we are playing "Wink". We played this game for hours and hours every night when we were younger at camp!
