A tribute to… Laura Allison Bower – ( that’s Laura, not Lora, people!)
2. She introduced me to some new books and authors that have been helpful and encouraging for me!
3. Deep, sarcastic, funny, and self-deprecating…. (this seems to be a theme among my friends!)
4. We have so many fun memories together and have shared lots of laughs and deep conversations!
5. She loves Ted and his Café Escondido as much as I do, and also apparently shares my love of Velveeta Shells & Cheese!!!
6. She blog-stalked me before I really knew who she was. lol We talked a lot on Election Night 2008, and I remember being surprised when she knew and agreed with several things I’d written here!

7. She introduced me to the magical awesomeness that is Zumba!
8. Shares my love of Scrubs and Gilmore Girls, and Niles Crane on Frasier… random, but true.
9. She wrote -- and sang, I might add -- a fabulous Birthday poem for and about me called Raspberry Chuckles! =)
10. Always easy to talk to… someone I was immediately comfortable around!
11. She is trustworthy - careful not to gossip or be unkind or negative, and a good confidant!
12. In random order, she knows fun Mitch Hedburg quotes, likes to dance and taught us the now-famous pretzel move, loved 500 Days of Summer, and aspires to run a half-marathon before she’s 30… (woohoo, November 22nd, here we come! Lol)
13. I remember she and I talked about God, life, marriage, relationships, healing, theology, etc. till 4 am or so after Tara Lynn’s B-day party… apparently, watching the captivating drama that is The Transporter put us into a deep conversation mood? lol8.

14. She humors my love of pictures by line dancing on a park bench, a la Coyote Ugly… or stopping to smell the roses… or randomly holding some other woman’s Tea Party sign… or toasting with our water in champagne glasses in the back of the limo… or whatever other ridiculous posed-candid photo idea pops into my head! :)
15. Always fun to talk to and hang out with; her smile and sense of humor brighten my day!
16. Genuine, caring, and compassionate, she has a servant’s heart, as evidenced by her volunteering at a hospice and always serving with Remnant!
17. Has the ability to give Biblical advice, tough love, compassion, and humor as they are needed, with discretion and Godly wisdom!
18. She invited me to a “pill packin’ party” and a Valentines-themed “Craftacular!” She pretends to loathe Valentines Day, but I don’t buy it. :)
19. She is lovably quirky and truly one of a kind!
20. This “Chubby Bunny” pic of her and Chet always makes me smile! They also both enjoy burning the precious little yellow Peeps… (but kudos to the Peeps for not going down w/out a fight!!)

21. She and I walked LaFortune Park together while chatting about our shared hatred of exercise and/or dieting, including her dreaded “Bridesmaids Dress Diet.” lol
22. Beautiful and kind; has a Drew Barrymore-like smile and a warm personality that people naturally love!
23. Great listener, and an uplifting friend
24. Amazing and talented writer… she’s real, witty, entertaining, deep, and poignant!
25. Started her own Wordpress blog over a year ago, but has yet to perfect the first post… I say the time has come! =)
