Birthday Birdies and Owl Cookies!

When I moved into my college dorm room many moons ago, (no...I will NOT tell you how many)
I met Sarah.
She was my new roommate and was (is) pretty much perfect.
Super friendly and welcoming. Fun, silly, wicked smart and girlie without being 'mean girlie'.
Completely sensible, but also absolutely the girlfriend you knew  you'd have a great time with all weekend.

Love her.

Plus, she totally introduced me to Joe, who became my super awesome husband.
Because of this I will NOT post the only picture of us I could find.
We are wearing bathrobes and wearing mud masks.



Instead, I will show you the cookies I made for her, for her birthday!

Her Mom wanted to send her some sweet little owls!

I added a loving family tree and some little baby birds  since she has two little birdies of her own.

She let me make them all springtimey and happy.




Which is perfectly appropriate for Sarah.

Because whenever I think of her....

I don't just remember that she is now a wonderful teacher and mom,

and a super brave breast cancer survivor,

but she has always been one of my best examples of who a girlfriend should be.

I wish she lived closer and that we got to see each other often.
But I hope she knows that I think of her all the time,

and always with a smile.



Hope your Birthday was extra Happy!
(Joe says 'Hi' too!)
