HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MARIAH

Just a quick blog post to wish my friend, MARIAH, a happy birthday today!!!

I sat behind Mariah in accounting class my junior year of college (1997-98) at IU Bloomington. We didn't know each other then but I remember that she always had her hand raised with the answer and I was also jealous of all her Eddie Bauer clothes and accessories (trust me, that was the style then)! :) She was also in my microbiology class (probably my favorite college class, by the way) and worked at the parking garage that I often went to. We didn't know each other then but she probably thinks I was stalking her since I remember her from all of these places. I just don't forget a face.

Then our senior year, we both went to IUPUI to complete the Health Information Administration program. There were less than 20 people in our class and we were with each other ALL day in the same room. We had to make the best of it. Mariah sat next to me and we became good friends. She is fun, thoughtful, smart, organized, and one of those people who are just naturally pretty (no makeup needed!). She's a great friend and faithful blog reader which you know I hold in high esteem.

Anyway, this is my tribute to Mariah for her birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIAH!!!!!!!!!!

Here are pictures I stole from her facebook page since I can't get my scanner working.

This is obviously from my wedding (2001). Mariah & me.



Me, Christi, and Mariah on our last day of classes (1999):

Ah yes, the good old days sitting in the same room all day. That is too funny about you knowing Mariah from Junior year! If you had told me that, I forgot (10 yrs is long time). How funny! Memories...

I feel like a total dweeb. After commenting on my excellent blog-following skills and giving me a shout out all my own on my birthday, I didn't read this post until a few hours ago. (For the record I did read on Friday, just not after this blog post.) I told Carl the IU Bloomington stories (which after 11 years have never heard myself) and he said and I quote..."That is kinda stalkerish!" I couldn't disagree more. Anyone that is going to admire my plaid Eddie Bauer button up shirts day after day is a diamond in the rough. I love you Amber and I love your blog Thank You!
Mariah-- Your comment made me laugh out loud. I love Carl's comment too about being stalkerish. Tell him that I've been watching him too, LOL. :)

PS If it makes you feel any better-- I remember Christi too from just seeing her at Teter.
PS A faithful blog reader means you eventually read the blogs... it doesn't say you have to read them right away. :)

Well thanks for the support, I still feel bad for missing my very own shout out. With my right hand in the air, I do tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when I say I have read EVERY blog you have written and highly enjoyed 99% of them (always room for improvement, right?).
