happy birthday bf

i was told the other night that i should put other things on my blog besides my adorable children. not that this certain person doesn't want to see my adorable children, but it is always good to spice things up. so this one's for you, bf.

it's my best friend's birthday today. and i don't know where to start. it's a fine line between saying what is deserved and total cheese. because i know her, and i know the total cheese would not be appreciated, i'm going to try my best. she turns 28 today, the day before i do. i bet she's freaking out, now that we're only 2 years away from 30... i am too, a little. but i think the two of us will always be driving to juco together, giving each other what passers-by probably thought were gang signs, but were just numbers for the radio stations we wanted the other one to turn to... that's normal, right? so in honor of her birthday, and in an attempt to bring more than just babies to my blog, here are:

28 reasons i love my bf.
