Pretty in Pink. Happy Birthday Brooke.

Yesterday was Brooke's 27th birthday. After she went missing we decided to celebrate her birthday by buying a new pair of shoes in her honor. I know it sounds weird, but she LOVED shoes. I am pretty sure that is where my obsession for shoes came from. She would have absolutely loved to get a new pair of shoes for her birthday and probably would, so since she can't we do it for her. It has almost been 8 years since she disappeared and not a  day goes by that I don't think of her and wish she was right her next to me. I'm so grateful that I was able to create memories with her and was old enough to remember those memories and remember her when she left our lives! This year when I was thinking about what shoes I wanted to get, I ran across a pair of pink sparkly Tom's and I immediately knew they were the perfect pair.

These shoes are Brooke to a T and I have no doubt that if she was still here she would own a pair. 

And just for your entertainment, a little photoshoot :)

yes, I am a giant nerd. NBD.

Sorry for the duplicates. I was playing around with my new actions in photoshop. This is the vintage action and I totally love it! 

More action loving.. sorry!

Apparently, according to my husband we don't have good enough lighting in our apartment to get a good jumping photo.. hence this incredibly horrible photo of me.. hahaha. 

Hope it gives you a good laugh up there in heaven Brooke. We miss you so much and wish you were here everyday. You are one of the greatest people I have ever known and I know you are up there watching over us. I love you so much and hope that heaven throws good birthday parties, because you deserve the best :) I can't wait till we can celebrate together again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
