Hotchkisses and Hugs: Happy Birthday Steph!

Today marks the birth of another of my fabulous best friends. I recently talked about Steph in my last post when she got married in Albuquerque. In that post I told you how Steph and I met and how post-graduation we lived dorm room style in my childhood bedroom.

What I didn't tell you is how fantastic of a person she is. Steph and I are complete goof balls. We love crazy sunglasses, wigs, hats, peace signs, uncomfortable situations, saying the word Uranus, river trips, fanny packs, Batman capes, and, most of all, tie dye. While I will tell you she hated me the day I officially met her because of crazy college/boy drama, she will tell you she doesn't remember that crazy Halloween night. We bonded late one night with our partner in crime, Margaret, when we developed our alter egos. Margaret was Laquisha aka Quish, Steph was Zenon aka Z, and I was Rosario. I have no idea how any of this got started, but it is one of my best memories of college. This led to the three of us trying to become Red Hat Ladies, having our own soundtrack, having a memorial to Heath Ledger, and making a cake of cheese.

Steph has a kind, sensitive heart. She cares about her friends and family more than anything and is completely loyal. She is one of those friends that has a hard time giving up when someone may not return their loyalty because of how much she values each person in her life. Steph can make anyone smile and can send the most fab text messages that can have you rolling with laughter.

As I was looking for pictures to post, I really started to miss college and Steph; so, I got super carried away this time. Enjoy!
