Happy Birthday Heid!!

It's Heidi's birthday today and I wish I could be there to celebrate with her! Heidi has been a friend since we met during our freshman year at Linfield. I wish I had a scanner so I could post some of the photos from those years. You'll just have to trust me that they were awesome! We had so much fun in college and I have so many wonderful memories of times with Heidi (the Catalyst, FCA, the green couch, hair dyeing, pranks, and lots of laughing). When I moved to Seattle for grad school, Heidi was right there with me. I remember our very frustrating experience trying to find an apartment (we looked at some sketchy places!) and how relieved we were when we found the perfect place. And, when it was time for me to leave Seattle and move to Minnesota, Heidi was there for me again...leaving her two kids at home to drive half way across the country with me. I feel very blessed to have such an amazing friend and very sad to be too far away to give her a hug on her birthday. Maybe someone in Portland will have to do it for me! Happy birthday Heidi! I hope you have an amazing year!
