Based on the date on the photo, this picture was taken near the beginning of our sophomore year at OWU. (I had some older ones but they were far less flattering--to me, not you of course; I love your outfit in this one!)

It's hard to believe its been almost 12 years since we arrived at OWU. We've had some great times: freshman year in Welch Hall, toga parties, fraternity/sorority formals, road trips, weekends in San Francisco, New York, and DC, all the way up to your presence at my wedding...the list goes on and on. You've been a great friend and I continue to enjoy our conversations on the phone--they are always immensely entertaining and enjoyable, though too infrequent.

As we become adults (which starts at 30, right?), I hope our opportunities to create memories in the future continue, wherever we may be. Happy birthday, Missy. Have a great celebration with your family and friends.
