Celebrating Julia

Julia and I met in 1997 at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Our friendship started in her car - she had one, and I didn't. She was my ride to work with a middle school ministry on Tuesday nights. She picked me up to go to church on Sunday mornings. And she was always there when I needed to go to Wal-Mart. Since then, we've hung out all over in Colorado, Seattle, Vancouver and Vegas. We both called Colorado home at the same time. She's been here since '99, and my four-year stint has been since then. Being here for all the wedding festivities this weekend and then for the big event in two weeks is one of the highlights of my month-long road trip. Here's to Julia!
