HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ!!

Today, my dear friend Liz turned 26!
We have been friends for a long time...

she says we have been friends since 4th grade--I always say it was 2nd.

We played basketball together; we played Barbies together!
We laugh and giggle together
and remember all the fun times we've shared together!

I have more memories with her than without her!

She is one the best friends I have ever had!



Life just wouldn't be the same without you in it Liz!

You love the Lord and in return love me more than I deserve.

"The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy" Psalm 126:3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!!!



I can't wait to see what the next twenty years look like...



LOVE YOU!

Moral of the Story

Dear Friends,

If you have big news to tell a friend do not tell them on APRIL FOOL's DAY! No one will never believe you. You are better off saving it for another day... like March 31st or April 2nd.


I found out my friend from college really is pregnant! My bff texted me on April 2nd and said "she is pregnant" I must admit I still had a little doubt...

I wish I had something deeper to draw from this example, oh well, I don't :-)

April Fool's

Well, today was the 1st of April and that means some sort of joke or prank was probably pulled on you, or better yet, you pulled a fast one on a friend or even a loved one... and this is how we say "I love you?"

I had one pulled on me. [I think?] One of my best friends from college called me this afternoon while I was in a meeting. So I called her back to see what was up-- and I hadn't called her back since she called me last week, oops! Anyhow, she says, "well, I was going to tell you I am engaged, but the moment passed when you didn't answer so... our other friend (who shall remain nameless since I don't know who reads this and I don't know that she is telling anyone) is pregnant!" I believed her for a long while. Then it hit me, she said our friend told her last week so she knew about this for a whole week and decided only to tell me about it today! It's April Fool's, she is just pulling my leg. I proceed to ask her over and over again, "are you lying?" To which she kept responding "NO."

We have now talked three times this evening and every time I ask her, "are you telling me the truth?" she responds [adamantly], "YES!" She is calling me first thing tomorrow morning to let me know once and for all if this very exciting news is really news at all.



PS: if you read my status on the facebook today "Melissa Rau is in love... life is good." Thank you to all of you who were so excited for me, but I'm afraid I was pulling a little April Fool's joke on you. I really did feel loved and life is good!
...and hopefully one day I will be able to genuinely say "I'm in love", but not today (or tomorrow)
