Doss Day!

Happy Birthday, JDoss!!!!

"A friend is a person who knows everything about you, and still likes you." - Unknown

It's hard to believe that I have been best friends with JDoss since 2005 when we first bonded over coping with a terrible job, and the rest is history.

2006 - baby M & J ha!

"The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had"



"Friends are the family that God forgot to give us"



"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" - Christopher Robin to Pooh

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you're a good egg,

even though they know that you are slightly cracked"

"Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose"

"much of the vitality in a friendship lies in the honoring of differences, not simply the enjoyment of similarities"

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it

back to you when you've forgotten the words"

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another,

"What?! You too!? I thought I was the only one!!" - CS Lewis

"One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss,

but in the number of things they need no longer mention"

"True friendship isn't about being there when it's convenient; it is about being there when it is not"

"We're friends because we hate the same people."

"Do not underestimate the intimacy of running,

and the people with whom you share your miles"

- Runner's World

 
"Runners...you're competitive, but you want to have fun, too. You want to enjoy life.
And runners really get to do that, I think - after we recover" - Marathon runner

 "Best friends remember when you say to forget it. They’ll wait forever when you say just a minute. They know somethings wrong when you say whatever. That’s how you know your best friends forever."

 "Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition.

Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust"

Charlotte: "Don't laugh at me...but maybe we could be each others soul mates. And then we could let men be just these great nice guys to have fun with."

Samantha: "Well, that sounds like a plan!" - Sex and the City

 "A good friend will come bail you out of jail, but a best friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn! That was fun!"

Two peas in a pod....

Though we didn't "grow up" together - we've grown up in this grown up world together.

These past 6 years have been full of happiness & laughter, sorrow & sadness, triumphs & failures.

Through it all, JDoss and me have been side by side.

I only look forward to celebrating many, many more birthdays with you Jess!

Thank you for being one of the greatest gifts Nashville ever gave me.

Happy, Happy Birthday to you!
