to my partner-in-[non]crime A, happy birthday!  some facts: we are no longer neighbors, we no longer use mane-n-tail, and we are no longer in our early (or even mid) 20's.  however, i am overjoyed that: we love the beautiful things in life, our hair has vastly improved and most importantly, that we are still the best of friends.  to more adventures and creating memories that we can reminisce about when we are old ladies...
