It's birthday time in 303!

So, the lovely Sydney Marne Schindler is 21 today. This girl is my second half. Let me fill you in on some of her goodness, that I'm sure you already are aware of. 1. She is the most loyal friend. 2. She has the greatest & weirdest sense of humor. That's why we get along. 3. She is the toughest girl I know. She can take the cold. The pain. The intensity. This girl can handle it all. 4. She has the greatest sense of style. Something I've always admired & a talent I've NEVER had. This girl can take the weirdest things and make them look snazzy. 5. This girl is the most amazing artist & photographer. She can make anyone look good. She has the hand of Michelangelo. 6. She's just as much of a night owl as me. 7. She is beautiful on the inside & out. This girl has a solid knowledge of Jesus Christ & she has the most profound insight. 8. She's the most bomb cook ever! This girl says it's her mom with the gift, but it must be genetic. She knows what herbs and spices taste good together. Give her a chicken and some peppers and in 20 minutes you will have a masterpiece. 9. She's the best aunt I know. She's not the hugest fan of kids, but she loves her nephews more than the sun & she loves spoiling them! No chocolate is not in her aunt vocab. 10. She's German. Her sweet mom will send German chocolate in care packages or cute little German things. It's great Basically, Sydney is one amazing girl and my serious soul-sister. I've never laughed or cried so much with one person. We have had some serious weird experiences together & some seriously hilarious experiences together. She makes me laugh so hard. She is really good at telling stories & loves telling stories. She always listens or acts like she's listening to my stories, which makes her a saint, because I am terrible at it. She is empathetic and patient, however doesn't put up with crap. She always gives the benefit of the doubt & does a great job at listening to both sides of every story. She is very forgiving and understanding with people. I love Sydney. She has been the greatest roomate for 3 years. I will miss her next year when she'll be married to my other best friend, but I couldn't be happier for her. My little girl is growing up. Happy 21st Syd!

  4. Whoa, mom, you've never met Rachel!?!!! Weird!! Well Rachel...she's in for a real treat because you are truly fabulous! This was such a nice post. You really are an amazing friend and Sydney is lucky to have had you as a roommate these past 3 years. I still remember her facebook stalking you and thinking that you would be a good roommate before coming out to BYU--she was right!!! There was definitely some divine intervention involved when you two were put together. And as a closing comment, I'll have to ditto Kristie's comment. Amen to that, Sistah :)

    Love you Rach!
    And Syd!
