Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!!!!

Wow..... That is the first word that comes to my mind when I think of my dear friend Sara. She was such an amazing person, and still is in my mind. She was full of life. I can't think of a better day for Sara to have been born. It fits her perfectly!

I have been thinking of all the memories I have of Sara and well..... there is just too many to tell, but here are a few. 

I believe it was Christmas of 05' that I dyed my hair brown. I was a little nervous because I had done it right before the party and Marc would be seeing it for the first time along with all our friends. I walked in and I think Marc's eyes must have popped out of his head, and not in a good way. Needless to say Sara ran over to Marc without me knowing and before I could get to him and she told him to make sure he said that my hair looked great.  I was really nervous and she came over and gave me a huge hug and told me that it looked amazing. It was just what I needed. She was amazing at knowing when something need to be said or done. 

 

Then there was Jen and Jill's bachelorette party in Santa Barbara. Sara, Sally and I drove down on the Friday night to meet up with everyone. On the Saturday night when everyone was getting ready she asked me what I was wearing. I showed her a few items, and she immediately told me that I wasn't wearing the items. She gave me one of the sassy little shirts she was going to wear and her bra so that I could look great that night. Now that is a friend!!!!! 

I could tell you all about the dinner's we had at Sara and Paul's house outside with the tiki lights, the yummy mac and cheese dinner she made for Marc and I when Parker was born, the hikes we would go on around Microsoft or Rancho, Oktoberfest 06' where she encouraged me to drink just one more drink, or how she was so amazing with Parker. He would get fussy with me or just want to walk somewhere and she would immediately take his hand or carry him with her somewhere else to give Marc and I a few minutes or more like hour to talk and hang out with everyone. She would say "It takes a village Mary". All the walks to downtown Palo Alto with a traveler from there house to go to Rose and Crown for a drink, golf at Sunken Garden. Now that was a blast!!!!! A few Hinnies and me being about to borrow the 5 wood! Nice!!!

I think about Sara every day. I know when she is pushing me to do something that I normally wouldn't do, which was one of the best things I loved about Sara. She was always willing to do just about anything. She was an amazing friend! I miss her terribly! But she will live on in each of us with our stories. An of course our guardian angel;) 

We love you sweetie!!!! Happy Birthday!

Love, 

Mary, Marc, Parker and Cooper  

P.S. I will forever miss the yummy burgers she would make and the delicious deviled eggs. Soooooo good!
