Happy Birthday Beckie!

What can I say about Beckie? We weren't always great friends...who can blame me...? we shared a room, and once the massive amounts of PINK and Strawberry shortcake took over, I was out of there! That was the worse thing I could think ofabout Beckie. :o) She is the type of person you want to have on your side. She is the most caring person I know. She has been there for me and my family many times. I know I will never be able to pay her back for all the kind words and actions she has shown me. She is nonjudgemental, she is kind, she is strong, she is F U N N Y! Not too many know the funny side of Beckie.....but she can make you laugh. Wether it is by her spontaneous dance moves, or a funny comment. I will never forget how Beckie kept her sense of humor even through the chemo. Beckie has always loved to bake. I remember when we lived at home she would make chocolate chip cookies...I love cookie dough, Beckie would only give me a little smidge of the dough. Now, when she makes her absolute best cookies, she saves some dough for me. :o) We have come a long way! She is unselfish, and always keeps others feelings in mind. I always tell her that I will have to try and sneak into heaven with her. She is my best friend...and I am so lucky to be able to call her my sister.

Some pictures from a long time ago!!! Could we look any more opposite?
Me and my sisters.

Check out all the candles!!!
Beckie and Troy...although I am pretty sure she looked this good after she delivered her babies!
I love this picture because at the time I was thinking this was the last time i would go through labor...kid#4, and Beckie was so kind to encourage me by saying..."just enjoy the pain Julie" how thoughtful of her. :o)
Beckie and Jim took me and my sister Cherie to see Brian Regan in concert....we laughed the whole time!
