Wednesday: Happy Birthday, HMS Avalon!!

Today is, as the title suggests, my dear friend HMS Avalon's birthday. In honor of her, I am doing a special 'happy birthday' post.

First, a speech.

Avalon, I've known you for about 3 years. Or has it been 4? I can't remember. Anywho, I've known you for quite some time.

I remember you and your family were answers to a prayer that had been ours for quite a while: that a Christian family with girls close to our ages would move into town. Lo and behold, one fine Sunday morning at a church potluck, we discovered each other. My family was amazed to find that you and your family (of a total of FOUR girls our age) had moved a mere 2.5 miles out of town!

After that, we quickly became close friends.

We met in town often in 2006....by Summer of '07, we were biking together almost every morning! The LMGC ('Little Town' Girls' Club) was established.

We share a love of horses, cats, the occasional dog, TobyMac, The Newsboys, ITs (you know what I'm talking 'bout! ;-D).....too many to name!

One of the most unique things about you is your sense of style. Clothing combos I would never dream of putting together, much less wearing in public, you wear all the time....and you look good like that!! I don't know how you do it!

You have a grand sense of humor, too. It's so much fun to tease you! (Speaking of which.....how's Shorty? ;-P Sorry, couldn't resist!)

So here's to HMS Avalon and her friendship, her 'teasability', her sense of style, an' everything else we love about her! *raises juice glass*

(That's grape juice, not wine!)

Here is your cake (sorry it's a few candles short):

Some fancy ice cream:

And a Present. A pair of little Kittehs for you!

And one more LINK to an interesting horse website.
I hope you enjoy your birthday!!

Song of the Day Game: First guitargirl, and then Skittles caught the Song Title! Here're their comments. Guitargirl commented: "The song is either "Real Good Thing" by...by...*sniff* *cry* y'know ;) Or it's "History" by PC." You were right the first time, guitargirl. Skittles said (I like this one!) "Kiwi, i thought this was rather obvious but i might as well just guess that it's Real Good Thing by newsboys...since i'm not gonna get it anyways. =P" Guess what, Skittles...YOU GOT IT RIGHT!! Learn to have some more confidence in yerself....and capitalize your letter 'I's. That really bugs me when people don't do that. Ever seen Adam-from-Stellar-Kart's blog? Painful.

So anyways. Happy Birthday, Avalon! Once you get your permit, you need to drop whatever you're doing and drive up and see us!

So long, all.

Oh, I almost forgot! A POEM for you, mah friend!

HMS Avalon:

Humor. You have a good sense of it.
My friend.
Stylish...it's unique and cool!

An interesting addidion to my circle o' friends!
Vivacious.
Artsy.
Loving.
Oh snap! at least used to be your favorite phrase...
Nutty...in a good sort of way!

And, you share a birthday with Lawrence Welk, Ezra Jack Keats, Jesse Jackson Jr. (ugh), and Christopher Rice...NOT the Chris Rice we like, though!!
I was looking this stuff up yesterday, and saw Carrie Underwood, Chuck Norris, Emily Osment, and Osama bin Laden. Unfortunately, I was accidentally checking under March 10th instead of the 11th. Rats.
Oh well! Happy Birthday!
