Happy birthday, Lindsey Gail

One of my oldest and dearest friends turns 24 today! 
I've been best friends with this girl since the 8th grade, but we're only two-thirds of our best friend trio: 
And, we kind of have a funny story. You see, Nicki (tall girl on the right) and I have been best friends since 7th grade, and in middle school everyone has their own lunch table, right? Another friend of ours brought Lindsey to our lunch table one day - but where did she sit? MY seat. So for a couple of weeks we were NOT friends - because she stole my seat at the lunch table. 

Luckily for both of us, I got over it (or she found a new seat, I don't really remember how it worked out), and life has been great ever since. 

A few fun facts about Lindsey: 
  • She was majorly obsessed with the Houston Rockets basketball team when we were growing up. So much so, that she kept a "Rockets journal" each season, and intently watched each game, scribbling notes about the highlights of each quarter, points scored, rebounds made, and fouls acquired by each player. 
  • She always had some sort of celebrity crush, like Bryce Drew who played for the Rockets (or more appropriately, sat the bench for a season or two) and Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek. 
  • She used to have to put a full heading (name, date, subject, teacher, topic, assignment) on EVERY piece of paper at school - even if she was just taking notes. 
  • She has the most contagious laughter I've ever been around. 
  • Number 22 is "her number".
Happy birthday, Lindsey. Hope year 24 treats you well.
