just had to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FRIEND CHELE!!

Michele & i have known one another for something along the lines of 15 years i guess it is. became friends during the oh-so-fun high school years. we shared some major highs & lows but the memories are sweet. =)

to Chele: since i have known you long enough to have a stockpile of silly mildly-embarrassing old photos, i granted myself the priviledge of posting one here in memory of good times, lots of laughs & old time's sake. =) i know we drifted apart but i'm glad we've crossed paths again. have a wonderful sparkly day of celebrating YOU & may all your birthday wishes come true!

figured it was only fair to put myself in here from this time period as well. we had some shots done together at our senior high school portrait sessions. these were taken about 12 years ago. holy crap...where did all that time go?! and check me out with LONG HAIR!!
