Thank you, Butler Hall! If not for that dormitory (and Brooke & Jennifer getting stuck at a red light together), I would have one less reason to live in Austin and one less very best friend! Thank you, Jennifer…for being the first to penetrate the circle (and proving that it can be done). And despite what Brooke says, I am a pretty nice person. Happy 30th, friend! And with that said, these are just a few reasons I love you.

You are (and always will be) older than me. Your 21st birthday was the only time this was to your advantage. Well…and maybe when social security kicks in.

You married one of my favorite guys.

We travel well together!

We both cheer for Texas, even though we didn’t go there. With Jay and Jackie, there’s only one degree of separation. Get it, degree? Ha! You laugh at my stupid jokes…there’s another reason!

You introduced me to Dallas Nite Club. That alone deserves all my love!

Again, you penetrated the circle. And we are oh so happy you did!

You’re not a “maybe”…so expect another post on your 50th birthday! Cheers!

Love you, Jennifer! Hope your 30th birthday was amazing (and full of good luck)!

*Sorry this is a little late. But you were in Vegas, so I slacked.
