Widdle Maren

Happy Birthday, Maren!
Welcome to the dark side (a.k.a. adulthood).

Adorable then...
Totally still adorable.... and accomplished.

Here are a few things I appreciate about Maren.

When I first met her I was immediately impressed with how responsible and helpful she was.

She agreed to be my mole and scope out dating prospects for me in the Singles ward. Granted, we kind of overlooked Alex, but it all worked out in the end.

She's always willing to step in and take charge at a moment's notice. (i.e. she taught the Laurels when I was on the verge of a meltdown)

She knows how to sleep the right way - Flamingos Unite!! We need to teach Sophie how to flamingo. :)

She has wicked-awesome "caching" skills.

She's not too-cool for big hugs or piggy back rides.

She can totally do the cute, girly thing - but doesn't get caught up in all the girly fluff that usually goes with that.

Hope your birthday is AWESOME - even though you're at work today - have a good one!!
