Organ Donation

picture stolen from Jamie's blog

Are you an organ donor? It's no fun to really think about this issue but I can't tell you how important it is. My friend Jamie has had two kidney transplants in her short life and really needs another but the risks are too high this time. While I've never told her this, she is one of the bravest people I know. She is a beautiful, funny, upbeat and positive person. And most important she is living her life. Here's a brief, brief background. We met in college. Jamie was my suitemate and roommate to my other friend, Shannon. By our senior year the three of us shared an apartment and Jamie was dating our high school buddy Ryan. A few years later Jamie and Ryan were married and are today living happily in Austin.

Jamie posted some great information on organ donation a couple of months ago and I've been meaning to link to it. So here it is. I highly recommend taking a look. Love ya' Jamie!!!

old friends are the best!



Saturday a few of us got together to celebrate Molly's 33rd birthday. We had lunch and then went to the pedi-spa for pedicures. I had a great time being pampered and catching up with the ladies. But today I was thinking that we should start having birthday parties like we used to when we were younger. I vote for a Soda Saloon-esque party for 34 or maybe a 50's dress-up party or even a slumber party with splatter painting T-shirts? Who's interested?


Here's to you Molly, I hope you had a happy one. I'm so glad we are still celebrating together after all these years!
