| Amy at her Half Marathon The note says: This Mile Dedicated to – Shelia Taylor – because I missed her Buffett Birthday Party because I had to run. |
Meet Amy Mann (pictured above). She turns another year awesome on April 29th and this kicks off her birthday week. In honor of her turning another year of awesome, I am wanted to write something in her honor. A birthday message because sometimes words are the best present and Amy is a present to the world.
The story: I met Amy at work. We worked on various projects together and worked together through out all the time I have been here and still work together. She keeps me sane when I feel like I’m about to snap. Somewhere along the way, we became more than work friends, we became great friends. She is one of my most trusted confidants. If I have a life choice to make, I often go to her to ask for advice, to share that I’m doing something, and to get the reassurance that my brainiac idea(s) aren’t as crazy I think they might be. She is my sound board and my go to girl. She is a champion on all my endeavors no matter big or small or hairbrained or well thought out they are. I try to be the same champion for her in her endeavors. Like the picture above, I was bummed she was missing my party, but her reaching her goal of running a half marathon far surpassed my need to shove a shot down her throat.
So Happy Birthday Amy! I hope your birthday week is filled with love, laughter, deliciously bad desserts, fantastic bad food, great music, and that it’s with the people that love, respect, and cherish you as a person and your friendship as a wonderful gift. I am honored to share my journey of life with you and honored that you have chosen to share your journey of your life with me.
