My Longest-Running Friendship!

This is a photo of me (the mouse) with my best friend (the bunny) I've had the longest (32 years!) I've known and loved this kid since the day he was born. We've been friends longer than any others we've ever had. Happy Birthday, Brother!

Jonathan and I swam together on the HS Swim Team (CLICK HERE to see my brother in a speedo and me flexing for the millionth time.) We also lifeguarded together at the local city pool. This photo of us is NOT from our lifeguarding job. You only swim INDOORS in Alaska.

This WAS taken on Walden Pond in Concord, Mass in 1991. If you were gay, you could be married on this beach. Just so you know. (Follow up from my post about CA's Prop. 8).

CLICK HERE to read about my last visit with John, in Valdez, our hometown. John was being followed by a camera crew doing a documentary on his life/work. They interviewd me in the pouring rain. I'm sure they won't use any of that footage, since I said dumb things. CLICK HERE to see the Movie Website/Trailer.

Happy Birthday, Jonathan! I love you, my oldest friend! I hope you have a great time celebrating with your friends, but know that your family adores you! xoxox, Your BIG Sis

How fun to hear about Jonathan! Do you remember that I had a crush on him when I was 3? I used to chase him around grandma and grandpa's house trying to catch him so I could kiss him. Of course, I think you were living in Alaska then, so maybe it was just a one day thing. Who knows?

You are the sweetest sister!

You are so cute. How funny that Jennie had a crush on him. I guess we all have crushes on our cousins at one time or another. That bunny costume picture looks just like Eric. I always thought Jonathon looked different than the rest of you. I watched that little trailer, how fun. I want to hear the dumb things you said though. When does it come out??

Happy Birthday to Jonathon...even though I'm really late wishing him a happy day. I wonder when his movie is going to be finished??
