blowing out her candles in amsterdam

spring break 1998- the same week two silly teenage girls happen to meet a shy boy with striking green eyes.

she celebrated my 16th birthday with me, she introduced me to my soul mate, she cried with me when i lost my dad, she danced with me at my wedding, she held my hand when i delivered my first baby, so i am very sad that an ocean keeps me from being there for her tonight.

thank you my friend for enriching my life the way you do. a very happy birthday to christa, who shares the comfort and consistency that only a sister could.

hurry home you fabulous globe trotting costume designer, la capilla is waiting to celebrate!

I'm so glad that Christa is part of the family. It gives me some comfort knowing that she can be there when I can't--I know someone's watching out for you.

Who would have thought a double blind date could change someone's life so much?

Happy birthday, Christa!!What a gift you have always been for Marisa and her family....someone who truly "shares the comfort and consistency that only a sister could." Wow, what a tribute from sincere, ever-faithful Marisa.(Hey Tiff, how sweet and on-target is your comment. Marisa so appreciates what you do and ARE for her) What a cute picture! I never knew that Crista introduced you to that shy boy! You learn something every day! By the way... La Capilla is right around the corner!!!! Hint! Hint!!Love you guys!
