Happy Birthday, Miss Carruth :)

Happy birthday, to one of the funniest and longest friends I've had in Nompton :)  Miss Amy Carruth.  

She's a great kindergarten teacher.  Don't you agree?

Amy isn't one to carry a camera with her...she usually depends on others to take the pics.  Lucky for her, I've got just a few {hundred} pics of our awkward moments, wonderful trips, and social events to show y'all.  Without further ado, happy birfday, Miss Carruth.  Here's to the next quarter century of making memories :)  much love.  Enjoy the show!

Many pictures made me cry-but tears of joy!!! What a wonderful gift to her and to her mama!!!Thank you.
Love you,
Mama C
PS. Love the picture on the bobcat. I have never seen one and she was SO excited.

Amy said...

LYDI!!!! This is BY FAR one of the best gifts I got this year. Thank you so much! I obviously wish I could hug your neck right now. We should def consider revising the title to "The evolution of Miss Carruth's Hair". Hahahah. Love you so much friend!

Happy B'day Amy! I am jealous you got to drive a Bobcat.

Other than the fact that everyone looks younger, it looks like that pic of Disneyland was taken last week. I know because I was there!

I wish I could comment on every picture, but I'll hit the highlights...
All I remember from that night on Basic retreat was trying to play guitar as snot dripped from my nose.
I feel I wasn't in the Disney pics because I took all of them - you're welcome.
Eastern Europe - don't get me started...
I don't know why I wasn't a part of this 2005 grad party at the church... being left out again I assume
Sad I missed Amy's 21st.
I LOVE the Amy and I's prom pose... classic
Jealous of all the JUNERS pics... wish I had done that.
This group contains pictures of Amy wearing two different ridiculously large bows - Gold at Christmas and Green at Jacey's wedding.
Last picture of Amy laughing is why I love her.

Love the post. Happy birthday Amy!
Darren

Amy is one of the happiest, sweetest, kind-hearted people I have ever met!!! But I have to admit, I was thinking the same thing about the hair... :) It looks much better in the recent years ;)

xoxo to both of you!
