Ten years ago on Christmas afternoon I went to the Last Chance Bar with my Dad and my brother Tom. This was the 350th day in a row of going to bars for my 365 bar crawl blog.

In the middle of me doing my bar crawl schtick, an attractive woman came walking in and introduced herself as, Amber. Little did I know that we would still be friends ten years later!

And so, I now present a Decade of Amber in photos and links from some of the fun we’ve had through this last decade of being friends together!

Amber’s birthday has been a source of constant fun here on the blog. This was one of the best ones of all, when Dave Stovall surprised the crowd with an Elvis performance!

Last year, Amber’s parents Chuck and Diane joined us and little did we know that Last Chance would be closed for the afternoon! It kind of prepared us for…

Today’s blog post from last Friday, this year the entire country was shut down!

So I decorated the MBIP Coffee Table with some fun Amber items including Sgt. Squeak, the wedding photo from 2017 and Lou!

Thanks to Amber and Joe for coming over last Friday and making the best of things during this rotten year!

I’m looking forward to celebrating next year’s Amberversary in 2021! Thanks for being such a great friend, Amber!
