shmizzle my nizzle.

Happy Birthday, Shmiz! Oh where, oh where would I even begin? Shmer (Erica) and I were randomly paired as roommates for our freshman year of college and have never looked back. We spent the first three months of our relationship sharing a dodgy hotel room, riding our nerdy bikes around blazing hot Tucson, eating way too much Beyond Bread (extra chicken please) & Penguins Fro Yo, pimping out your Nokia phone and oh how I wish we could do it all again.

The thought of all our adventures over the years is overwhelming - in a good way! Girls trips from California to Chicago & New York.. spring breaks & bachelorette parties in Mexico... dancing our way through Sydney, Australia with our Dan's... annual trips to the beautiful Indio desert... each other's weddings.. the first baby announcement (I'll never forget that day)... and I can't wait to see what your 28th year has in store. I have a hunch it's going to be a good one!

Shmiz, you made it through an incredible 27th and I wish nothing but the very best this year for you, Danimal and the Dyl Pickle. xx, c.

i have SO many amazing photos of us i need to scan.

(does that makes us sound old?)
