Happy Birthday Tay!

My friend Taylor recently celebrated her 20th birthday.  We have been friends ever since we were little and we would go to each other’s birthday parties and she would go swimming at my nana’s pool.  We are two years apart so she is like my big sister.  When she was in 9th grade and I was in 7th we became closer than we were before and she took me under her wing and helped me to come out of my shell as I entered high school.  During the summer we spent almost every day together.  Her mom came to be like my second mom and we are still really close today.  We haven’t seen each other in a while because she is at college, and it’s going to be even harder once I go to college.  In this collage there are pictures of us from years ago up until this past year.  The top left picture is of us after a basketball game, the same year that the team won a state championship, the picture below it is of us on a summer day after I got back from my family vacation, the top right picture is a recent picture that was taken at her mom’s birthday party, and the two below that are from the times I went on vacation with her and her family.  The picture in the middle is of Tay, her mom, and me about 4 years ago, and the one below it was taken this past summer.
