So, I had this post all written and prepared for yesterday. BUT, no internet at my apartment. Wah, wah. That means I have to do it today, even though it's Thursday. It does make a bit more sense because today is someone's birthday...which is what the post is for!
Meet Jill.
You might remember her from a few different posts {here, here, or here to name a few}. As much as I love/hate the story of how we met, I'll go ahead and tell it. Jill's probably laughing now as she reads this and remembers that day. I met Jill my freshman year of college. To be exact, the first day that we moved in to the dorms of OU's beautiful campus. Jill and I went to high school together. This is where the story gets awkward and embarrassing for me.
Jill knew me in high school.
I did not her.
I knew her name and her face, but didn't know they went together. This has been a legendary story brought up ANYTIME Jill finds the time to make me feel bad :) But, I love her all the same.
So, we were new freshmen in the dorm. My roomie, Karen, and I were ordering pizza that night for supper. I always {ALWAYS} eat ranch dressing with my pizza. Jill stuck her head in our room and asked if we needed anything from the store; I asked if she would mind getting me a ranch dressing :) we exchanged phone numbers then and I put her name in my phone as "Jill Ranch." To this day, she is in my phone as Jill Ranch. Sometimes, I try to type that into facebook to search for her, but that's not her real name. Enough with the chit chat though; let's take a walk down memory lane!
Road trip? Sure!
Sledding? Why not!
Move to Boston after college? Done!
Rafting trip? Duh!
I admire so much about Jill--her free spirit, contagious laughter and smile, and her willingness to leap when someone says "jump!" I have a bajillion pictures of us together from 2005 on, so, without further ado..
dorm activities...
our hands were SO dirty with newsprint.

This is "The Jill" face. I could have posted a LOT of these, but I opted for others. This one was at OU/Texas! Our first time to go!

Want to know something funny? I've been skiing more times with Jill (twice) than with you (once).
