Saturday's Snapshot: Friendly Flashback

A week ago, a handful of friends helped me celebrate my birthday a few days early.  Among them were three of my oldest friends -- and by oldest, I mean people I've known for a huge portion of my life (only two of them are actually older than me ... and only by a few months ... ha ha).  I live hours from Jamie, Eli and Katie, and each of us has a busy life filled with our own challenges and issues.  We don't get to see each other often, but every time we get together, I wish we could.  I am incredibly grateful for these friends (and each and every one of my friends) for sticking by me for so many years and I'm very glad I got to spend time with them last Saturday.  We didn't take a picture that night, so here's one I scrounged up from a few years ago --- New Year's Eve 2005.
