BIRTHDAYS!!

TODAY is a HAPPY {birthday} KINDA DAY!

Yesterday, my sweet best friend {and cousin} Laura celebrated her 20th year of life here on this earth, and I am so incredibly thankful for her. She has literally been the voice of reason for me for quite sometimes, and her faith encourages me every single day. I don't know what I would do without her to come decorate my room, chat me through a bad mood, or enjoy Dirt Cheap like I do. We had the best first-half of summer together by the pool, shopping, and having sleepovers! 

So, I hope her birthday was all it should be! I know it will be! How can being on the beach for your birthday NOT be fun? 

And today, {yep, they're just 1 day apart!}, the little bride-to-be has a birthday! Just like Laura, I've known Hollie my whole life and she basically been my best friend since then! It's so strange that we are out of Tender Years, Elementary, Junior High, High School, and YOU are even done with college now. Where is the time going? Not only that, but all those imagination "house" games we played are now about to become your reality - and I'm happy for you! 

Thanks for being by my side through thick and thin, and for knowing that even when we don't talk, we always come back and pick right back up.
