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.
One of the many times we ate at Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville
At the City of Children in Ensenada, Mexico

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
at my apt. in Malibu
At the Marin Headlands near San Francisco

Shana lived in Hawaii for a summer so I could easliy go visit her. We went snorkling!
One of Shana's favorite places in LA--Diddy Riese!
At Crystal Cove State park in Orange County
Shana LOVES In-n-Out! This is her "I'm eating In-Out, don't bother me" look
Shana and Chris
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!
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!
