Laughing through it all...

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Jennnnnnnnnn! Happy Birthday to you!...that was sung in perfect pitch with lots of enthusiasm.

This is my roommate, best friend, comic relief, karate extraordinaire and over teacher of fun. Jen and I have been friends since the summer of 2003. We've been through a lot together...football games in 20 degree weather, getting trucks stuck in sand, breaking our tail bones during a snowboarding weekend in Boone, Sex & the City nights in Chapel Hill, oh and the big one, dating brothers. You definitely get close when you bond over break ups, haha!

Jen has taught me a lot over the years but the main thing I've learned is laughing makes everything better! Jen can turn any situation into fun. She can add the laughter into a crowd of uptight, aggravated businessmen in the middle of tax season...that takes skill. She adds the flavor to my life and is the cheese to my macaroni, haha!!

Jen you are the greatest! I would never in this big city without you!

Happy Birthday. May God bless your special day beyond measure!

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
