Birthday Wishes!

I know that this is my second blog post today but I wanted to pay homage to my bestie!  

So, enjoy some of these beautiful pictures of her as I say...

Happy Birthday, Karen!

I know that she isn't fond of this photo but it's one of favorites 

because it shows off her fun-loving personality!

Karen and me during last year's Halloween party. 

The Pirate and the Bumble Bee...sounds like a kids book!

 

I am so proud that my bestie has an Elementary Education degree

and blessed that she was able to be my daughter Elizabeth's preschool

teacher two years ago.  This was her first graduating class!

I could literally go on and on with photos of my bestie but I think you get the picture (no pun intended).  Karen is fun and spontaneous, hard working, creative and I'm so blessed to have her in my life.  So, Happy Birthday, Karen!  I miss you and wish I could be there to celebrate but it'll just have to wait a couple more weeks!!
