✨37✨

I have the best girls in my life. I would be nothing without the love of the women who lift me in my darkest moments.

Here are my favorite birthday wishes that I received yesterday & I want to share them with you (& never forget myself):

“wishing you a happy birthday!!!!! 🥳🩷🌸 i’m so glad we’ve become closer in the past year, and i’m looking forward to more girls nights and pool days and general girlhood!“. -Alex

“Happiest of birthdays Amber!!! I’m so thankful to have a friend as caring and amazing as you. I hope you’re enjoying your day!!”. -Erica

“Happy Birthday to my beautiful and magical Amber. I am so lucky to have the femme, loud, bubbly fun you bring to my life. I hope this year has more smiles and hugs and Maple Syrup kisses in store for you.“ -Letitia

“Eighteen years ago, I had no idea that meeting you would become one of the greatest blessings of my life. 🥰❤️ Through all the laughter, adventures, tears, crazy ideas, life changes and everything in between, you’ve been my chosen family, my sister. I truly can’t imagine my story without you in it. You have the biggest heart, the brightest spirit and a way of making everyone around you feel loved. Thank you for being the kind of friend who celebrates with me during the highs, stands beside me during the lows and somehow always knows exactly what I need. ❤️ I hope this year brings you everything you’ve been dreaming of and so much more—new adventures, endless laughter, good health, peace, love and every little bit of happiness your heart can hold. You deserve all of it and so much more! 💕 Thank you for 18 incredible years of friendship. Here’s to many more birthdays, beach days, late-night talks, inside jokes and making memories we’ll still be laughing about when we’re little old ladies. 😂❤️”. -Laura

“Happy Birthday Soul Sister❤️First… I’m sorry this is coming so late today. If there was ever someone who deserved to be celebrated from the second they opened their eyes this morning, it’s you. But thankfully you know me well enough to know that the timing has absolutely nothing to do with how much I love you. We’ve been doing this life together since 7th grade… and somehow, through every version of ourselves, we’re still here. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how I got so lucky.

You’ve seen every side of me. You’ve never judged me (well maybe a little, but only when you knew I could do better) but you’ve never given up on me, You’ve never made me earn your love. You’ve loved me through every season of life, and I hope you know how much that has meant to me. 💓💓

You are the definition of a true friend. people spend a lifetime hoping they’ll find someone like you Amber. You’re an incredible mother, an amazing woman, and the most genuine heart I know. You love with your whole heart, and everyone lucky enough to know you is better because of it. Thank you for laughing with me, crying with me, talking me off ledges, telling me the truth. Thank you for being my safe place, my voice of reason, my family of choice, and my best friend. I hope this next year surprises you in the best ways. I hope it brings peace where you’ve carried stress, healing where you’ve carried hurt, and joy in all the little moments. I hope you get back every ounce of love you’ve poured into everyone around you

I love you endlessly, more than you’ll probably ever realize. Thank you for choosing me all those years ago and for never letting go.

Happy Birthday, Darling. I love You very very very very very much. Here’s to another year of doing life together. ❤️” -Cassidi

And honorable mention for the “rock star birthday song” video that I received from Brittany 😆🥰🥰

To be loved like I am loved is my greatest blessing.

✨Cheers 🥂 to 37 years ✨
