Anne with an “e” (and a Marie)
oooh… it rhymed too! (punchy on caffeine warning!)
So it is a very special girl’s birthday today! There have been a lot of special girls’ birthdays lately- so funny!
Speaking of, I missed two birthdays on here because it was the same day as my wedding- sorry about that, Meg and Louise! I was thinking about you before and after but never put it up here… silly me.
Anyways, back to what I was talking about. The birthday today.
I first met Anne Marie when I got a cheerful note from her last june on my very new blog. I knew pretty much right away that I had found a kindred spirit. (enough Anne of GG references for ya?)
Casey and I were so honored that she was able to come up for our wedding a few weeks ago so here are some cute pics of her there (click to make bigger):
(Me and the fabulous AM)
(AM and my brother’s best friend, Dennis… teachin’ her some groovy new moves.)
(AM and my mom. How freaking cute is that picture?! As Carrie said, she truly does have a way of working a room and is really the most fun, friendly and hilarious person that I have ever met. whew… quite a caption!)
Anyway, it is her special day today so swing by and give her some love. She needs it, especially because her dog Petey ate up all her purses! on her birthday!!
XOXO, AM!
(if you have some more time and haven’t read Carrie’s blog today, you should! She wrote a lovely tribute to the birthday girl…)

What a lovely tribute to the truly fantastic Anne Marie! You are so right–she really is a kindred spirit!
And I’m looking forward to running into you one day, too!
By the way, when’s YOUR birthday?? =)

Finding a kindrid sprit is the best. And everyone needs a good AoGG reference now and then.

Oh Jess thanks so much! I just adore you! You are so special to me, you were one of my first bloggy friends! I was so honored to be apart of your special day, and your friends and family are just as fabulous as you are. I really treasure our friendship, especially now that it is an IN PERSON thing! Woo-hoo!
PS What’s with my flabby forearms in that first pic?

I thought I saw AM in your wedding pic album! How cool that she made it all the way up there to be at your wedding.
