Happy Birthday from Claire

Elise!! Happy Birthday!

Thanks for being my oldest Mines friend and consoling me when I thought this was going to be a school solely full of guys. From Bill Nye, to being pen pals, to movie nights, to themed parties, and to meeting your new dog, I’m so glad we’ve traversed Mines together. You are loyal, fun, cool, and a great gal. I’m excited to see where you go this next year and have fun beach vacays together. You will always be one of the first to hear about my mess of a love life or get a cute picture of my new cats. Thanks for teaching me about Colorado life when I didn’t understand it and commiserating with me about how Coloradoans are too outdoorsy. I love being your friend and I can’t wait for many more years of adventure with you!
