Birthdays

I'm pretty pumped about today because today I get to celebrate someone incredibly special to me.  She's one of those friends in your life that when you look through old college photos, the majority of them are of the two of you (I was lucky enough to have a few friends like that, actually).  She's one of those people that you felt like just "gets" you at the most crucial of times.  One of those friends that sat next to you calmly as you stalled in the middle of a busy intersection during traffic hour while teaching you how to drive a manual.  One of those friends that you could split a large sub with at your favorite, local deli because we liked the exact. same. sandwich.  One of those friends that sang every word of this song with you and one of those friends that taught you what working hard really meant and how being there for others is more important than anything else in the world.  She's a special one, I tell you, and I haven't seen her in an ungodly amount of time.  Birthdays are the best because they are excuses to drop everything you have and celebrate life.  Life without this girl?  I'm telling you, I wouldn't be who I am without her presence the past 7 years.  She's a gem.  And today I'm going to bask in the privilege of getting to spend some time with her during this crazy adult life that doesn't allow it all the time like the good ol' college days did.  You know, back when we slept in most days, ate burritos for three meals a day and were really, really tan. 

Love you, Brittanicle!  Can't wait to see you today!
