Happy 24th birthday Mandy!!!!!

You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. There are so many reasons that I love you. Here are just 24 for starters (in no particular order)…

You are generous with the things God has blessed you with
You are patient with me and give me my space without me even realizing you’re doing it
You love my family (and have a huge crush on the Glove!)
You loved Jane – you love her still
Your world vision is constantly being changed and that challenges me to adjust the way I see things too
You went to Africa with me, you know how and why part of me is still there
You’ve figured out my moodiness and adjust accordingly, I think you’re the only one who’s mastered that. God bless you.
You’re my favorite concert-going friend
You buy me gifts for your birthday
Words aren’t always necessary, you just get me and you realize that sometimes the best conversations can happen while just sitting in silence together (or singing along to a song that no one dare interrupt!)
You’ve been with me through so many phases of life in just six years and you’re still my friend. Your love for me is unconditional and I don’t deserve that. You’re walking with me now in this shitty time of life and I wouldn’t want anyone else around to help me process and understand things.
You’ll watch 80s chick flicks over and over with me
I feel safe in the car with you 
You’re not afraid to close your eyes and raise your hands at a concert
You make me laugh
I make you laugh
You know me better than anyone else
You wear your heart on your sleeve and its contagious
You let your boyfriend hang out with me even when you aren’t around
You understand me and boys and you don’t ever make me feel stupid about it
You bawled with me on July 17, 2004
You took my barf to the trash for me!
You put me in my place
You know all the words to Careless Whisper and you aren’t afraid to belt them out – or shed a tear over em!

There’s probably 2400 more things that I could list that I love about you my friend. You’re my sister, my dear friend and I am so thankful for you.
Happy birthday Mandy Maylor.
