... Jessica

Let's see... it was way back in Thomas Care Group when we first became friends.

And over the years you drove out to each and every job I'd ever held in the state of VA to meet for coffee on my lunch break. On an almost weekly basis!

Remember the time we ran into The Naked Cowboy in Times Square?

Or the time you set my kitchen on fire? While you were sharing a story about how you set someone else's kitchen on fire!

I bet most people don't know how much fun a hurricane can be when you're hunkered down in the Rickards home.

Our friendship has evolved through many Starbucks locations, chocolate parties & trips, through many trials & frustrations, through many laughs & tears, and through it all you've remained such a FAITHFUL friend. I'm grateful for your friendship and happy to celebrate another birth anniversary with you.

Buster wanted to chime in too but he couldn't find anything appropriate to say so...

Happy Birthday Friend!
