BFF's

This post is for wishing my very best friend Allison a happy 28th birthday today!

Allison and I have been friends for over twenty years. TWENTY.

Since:

Swimming lessons at the Y, ~1989

And definitely since:

Buckling up for safety at the pier on Lake Geneva, ~ 1991

Thankfully now we've both grown into those teeth and gangly legs, and have better taste in hairstyles and swimsuits:

Happy birthday, Al! Love you, mean it, + couldn't imagine a better best friend. You're my lobster. ;)
