Happy Birthday Brie Bear!

Dear Brie,

Happy Birthday!

Today is the day that I get to celebrate YOU! Because you were born today and for that, I am so thankful. Sixth Ashton would have been so dull without your energy and enthusiasm for life. You taught me to take risks and have fun - because so much time is wasted on second-guessing. Your support and encouragement has meant so much to me. Thanks for always believing in me.

You were so willing to welcome me to this crazy place called SPU and my years here have been colorful ever since. Whether it was stealing your bed, locking you out or adventures with Herbert you showed me how to love life and always keep my head up. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

You are the most determined and strong-willed woman I know and that is something I have always admired. I know that anything you set your heart to is achievable and worth the effort - you have such big dreams and goals and I can't wait to watch you make them happen. Thanks for inspiring me!

Most of all, being around you just fills me up with joy. Our laughter never ends, even when there's tears. Adventures seem to follow us and you bring spontaneity and excitement to the everyday routine. From our duck collection to crazy picture taking to eating ice cream and laying on the beach...your my best friend and I'd be lost without you! Thanks for always being there!

Love,
J-Bean
