It says I should use this space to tell everybody what I think of this person. There's not enough space to say it all about her! She is the coolest person I have ever known and probably ever will know. To say she is talented, funny, and creative is an understatement. She is interested in so many things and good at so many things. Everything she's ever tackled, she has always given 200%. Now she is a wife and a mom with a beautiful family and she gives 200% to that too.

Plus we have known each other longer than anybody else in the world if you exclude parents and the "older generation." And in addition to her many, many talents, she is a good friend--the best. In a world where friendships come and go like so many disposable razors, ending up in some sort of metaphysical landfill, the art of friendship has become almost outmoded--to have had her as a friend for so many years (and I won't say how many because then you'll think we're both ready for AARP, but it's been a loooong time) makes me feel very fortunate indeed.
