Happy Birthday, Andi

I never got around to buying Andi a birthday card for her 25th birthday, which just happens to be today. So I could write Andi a long, sentimental post about how much I love her, but I'm not in a mushy mood. So I'll just go with this little diddy:

Andi, you're my best friend,
No matter what you do,
Color your hair six different shades,
I'll still hang out with you.

Tattoo you butt, tattoo your back,
Or maybe get a whole sleeve,
I'll still hang out with you, but you'll get
Grief like you wouldn't believe.

You're a crazy dancer, a lake bike ramper,
A Believer in God from above,
I'm so blessed to be your momma,
And to have your family to love.

So enjoy the day and have lots of fun,
But there's one thing of you I beg,
Tonight, while jammin' in the roller derby,
Take care and don't break your leg!

There now. How's that for sentiment? I just thought that up in about 45 seconds. Not that she's not worth more of my time, but it's time for the race fans to head out and Jacob and I are getting ready to leave for our multi adventure day. It's going to end tonight at the roller derby, where Andi is going to be not only a Pivot person but a Jammer.

This means she gets to wear 2 different helmets, which will no doubt interfere with her birthday princess hat she bought for herself. Sure, she said it was for Sophie's birthday next week, but I'm not convinced.
