in college, when i lived off Riverside, the main strip of cheap university housing that everyone partied in, where i had 3 different roommates including a french girl for 3 weeks, the constant and favorite house guest was Deneice. we would smoke on the balcony in the winter, had weekly wednesday dinners with jacque and ashley. the one thing i always remember though is making Deneice turkey sandwiches, pepperchinis on the side, juice in hand. i loved making her those sandwiches, it was our thing to do.

it’s her birthday, and as always, i’m thinking about all those little things that make her such a big part of my life.
