Deniz turned 24 the other day, and as one of my best friends from college, we have shared many, many memories together. We met our first year of college because her dorm room was two doors down from mine and we quickly became best friends . We are so lucky to have so many amazing memories together & so many more to come! I think it’s fair to dedicate this post to her and include a collage of photos of us throughout the years ! 

There she is on the left as a bridesmaid in my wedding this summer!

At my birthday this year at Clery’s in the Back Bay.

At my bachelorette party in May 2012 on the Cape @ Mimi‘s house!

At my birthday last fall at Mimi‘s apartment in the North End – a reunion of many of our college friends from all over !!

Mountain Day, another Mount Holyoke tradition where all classes are called off and students are supposed to climb “Mount Holyoke,” a local mountain where the President of the College and ice cream await at the top! We were almost at the top at this point.
