Happy Birthday, Joe!

Happy 25th birthday to one of my best friends in the entire world, Joe! We’ve been friends since our sophomore year of college – we were accounting tutors together, we went out together on Thursday nights, we ordered greasy Chinese food on Friday afternoons when there was nothing else to do, AND we were even roommates our senior year. Joe and I parted ways after college (he stayed in Chicago, I moved to New York), but his job brought him to New York after two years of being long-distance friends. I’m so glad he’s back in my life – he’s been a supportive friend during tough times in my life and he also brings sunshine into my life. We finish each others sentences and I’m pretty sure he knows me better than any of my girl friends. He took me to per se because he knew how much I wanted to go and he doesn’t even mind when I bring out my camera to document our meals together. He also LOVES hanging out with my family (sometimes I think he loves my mom more than he loves me). He’s an awesome guy and I’m so glad to have him in my life. Happy birthday, Joe!
