Birthday Shoutouts!!!

Alright, I have two B-day Salutes to make today. The first one is for my amazing friend Betsy who's birthday is today! She is turning the big 30 and I think it is great!

So here are some things I love about Betsy:



1) She has great fashion sense.
2) She is always ready to go have fun when I need to get out of the house.
3) She is real. I can be completely open with her how I feel about things and she doesn't judge me.
4) She is very athletic! I am always amazed at the drive she has to go and work out and be healthy.
5) She is a great mom and wife (despite what you may think Bets, you are!!!)
6) She makes a mean hot cocoa and buckeyes!
7)She is educated and is in the know of what's going on w/ politics.... and of course pop trivia!
8) She can laugh at herself!
9)She is the first person I call after I watch Project Runway!
10) Betsy is a beautiful person inside and out, who is usually too hard on herself, but whether she knows it or not, she is fabulous!!! She is down to earth, fun, and a good friend. I love you Betsy and I am so happy we have so much in common!!!! Happy Birthday!!!

My second B-day Tribute is much belated, but I wanted to let her know how I feel about her... My big sister Darci who is always young at heart!



(Darci is the furthest one on the left hand-side) (order is Darci, Kim, Ryan, and bad picture of me)


(Just had to throw in this picture of my parents obvious inspiration of cutting my hair into a bowlet (Bowl cut mullet) like Darci's!



Here is the proof!!! This is child abuse people!

Okay here is what I love about Darci!

1)She's always been a second mom to me!
2) She fits the first child role of taking care of everyone. She is very nurturing and loving and sweet!
3) I love her laugh, especially when she snorts. I just love laughing with my sisters! We all have the cackle!
4) She has been through a lot and has a lot of good advice because of it.
5) She is very spiritual.
6) She is very dependable!
7) She is great at organizing family functions,whether she likes to or not. She is just a take charge type of gal.
8) She is fun to shop with!
9)She makes a mean hot fudge! Excellent cook I'd like to add.
10) She has an amazing family who I adore and miss very much. You always make me feel at home! I think you make everyone feel at home!
11) You stay strong through your trials. Lots of inner strength.
12) Great house keeper. I know that sounds dumb, but some people really have this knack, and I am pretty mediocre at it.
13)She is very sensitive to others feelings.
14) She is beautiful! Seriously, inside and out.
15) I just love Darci! Who doesn't? She is just a great amazing woman and mother and sister! I'm pretty sure Kim and Ryan would agree with me on this one! Happy belated Birthday... your still 21 and holding right?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADIES! YOU ARE BOTH VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE!!!

Love, Sid
