Why Jennifer deserves a great birthday:
1. While she was always the smallest of the three of us, she coined the nickname "Big Jenny"
2. In second grade, when we became friends, Jen and I shared a locker. Remember poo-chis? We kept one in as our pet our locker. Little did we know this would only be the beginning of pets we all three tried to own together.
3. Jen is going on a mission in just a few shorts months! She will be learning portuguese so, feliz aniversario!
4. You can find Jen singing one of these three songs: It's A Hard Knock Life" from Annie, old Taylor Swift or Eminem's "Lose Yourself." All other songs she will gladly sing along too, but she won't know about 99% of the words.
5. In elementary school and middle school I would make Jen play Zenon or Harriet the Spy with me because I had a strange obsession with both. I'll always thank you for that!
6. When she was younger she used to think that people were sharpening knives in the room next to hers.. Glad we finally got over that one
7. Jen dated a unicorn......
8. She was always there to support me with whatever I was doing. Whether it was coming to a Friday night football game to watch me cheer & cheer on the Cougars herself or like the night Stanley, my dog, had to be put to sleep and Jen came over. She brought me sour candy with a note that said, "Sorry your day was sour!" She is one of the most caring people I know!
9. Her AIM username was AngelGirl92
10. You're the sweetest and most caring Lil' J and are always thinking of others. Your kind heart is going to be used perfectly in Brazil!
Why Marissa deserves a great birthday:
1. Once when Marissa was mad at a boy in middle school who she liked, she called him "the scum between her toes," and that's just one of those things you can never let someone forget.
2. Senior year she became Daisy and worked Las Vegas like no one ever thought she would
3. Birthdays are the biggest deal among the pookies and while Jen loves them, Marissa is the one to go above and beyond. It always involves decorating your car, cake, gifts through out the day, breakfast from your favorite place, balloons and one year it even involved a fish that I had to carry around with me all day during school.
4. Marissa lets no one do you wrong. During our little soccer career together (okay, our whole life before college), if anyone sought out to get me or Jen, or even worse, hurt us during the game, Marissa would charge across the field at them.
5. Marissa used to decorate her room with Johnny Depp and she even had a mini statue of him.
6. She's hilarious. I can't even tell you how many times Marissa makes me laugh a day & it got to the point in high school where it was almost a problem if we had a class together. Nothing would get done. We were either pushing each other's desks into the middle of the classroom or embarrassing the other one on a regular basis.
7. Marissa is my go-to hair girl. Both years for prom I got my hair done at a salon, then frantically called Marissa and had to get her to come and fix it. Finally I realized that she was way better than any salon, and look where she is now - hair school!
8. She loved the Sims as much as I did and would stay up into the wee hours of the night making sure their houses were perfectly decorated
9. When the holograph of Stevie Wonder came on at the Celine Dion concert, she really though Stevie was in the room with us. Maybe on day we will see him in real life! And never forget your glasses to a concert again.
10. Your the fiery redheaded best friend that everyone needs by their side and my partner in crime!
And together..
We all drive the same car, just different versions
We have gone to Las Vegas, Gatlinburg, Gulf Shores + the lake
Seen Celine Dion, Taylor Swift, Idina Menzel, been to the Grand Ole Opry + CMA Country Christmas taping concert
Went to see Mamma Mia at TPAC, Cinderella with the Nashville symphony performing + all the TPAC plays Grandaddy took us to when we were younger
We've played soccer, powderpuff football, ran cross country + played basketball
Met Sheryl Crow, Kimberly Williams Paisley + Barbara Orbison
Celebrated 15 years of birthdays
Celebrated 15 Christmas Eve Eve's
We are the pookies & are part of The Girls Club
We have supported each other in every other aspect of our lives that we strangely didn't do together (really, if you found us apart in high school it would have been weird)
We are one big family
Finally:
I'll never be able to thank you two enough for your friendship and love. We were meant to be best friends and go through life together. The term "best friends" doesn't even begin to describe us though. I am thankful for you two every single day and would not be where I am without you both.
I can't wait to see where the next 14 years take us, and many more!
love you both more than a thousand suns always
Happy 21st Birthday to my favorite twins!

As Wicked says,
"I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason,
Bringing something we must learn, and we are lead,
To those who help us most to grow, if we let them, and we help them in return.
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true,
but I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you.."
I can't wait to celebrate when we are all together & reunited in May of 2015..
It seems like a long time (it is), but no time or distance will ever separate this friendship!
LET'S CELEBRATE YOU TWO!
