There was a whole month that just flew by really fast.

what is it about november that is so hard to document?

i like iron chef michael symon better than iron chef bobby flay.

someday i'm going to beat him on iron chef america, 

and woo him with my culinary skills. 

happy birthday future husband!!

I must have really sensitive pits or something

Attention everyone.
there is a person who has changed my life more than anyone else.
and today is her birthday.
i've known miss erin lou for quite sometime now, and it is safe to say she changed my life.
she came into my life at a time when i was the most vulnerable.
i was lacking in the happy department,
but if you know erin, you know that she has plenty of happy to go around.
luckily, she shared some with me, and she is one of the reasons i got out of the black pit i was in.
she's beautiful, funny, she always knows exactly what to say and when to say it.
she's just spazy enough, and just serious enough.
she makes me want to be a better person when i'm around her, and luckily she doesn't mind it when i'm not at my best.
we take awkward pictures together. and i mean serious. bad. blackmail pictures.
she writes me letters because she knows i like mail.
she isn't embarrassed to be seen in public with me when i'm in my pajamas and my hair looks like and orphans.
we have sleepovers and watch her sixth grade play and gymnastic movies.
we go out to lunch and just talk.
i tell her my secrets.
she changed my life.
and i bet if you gave her the chance, she can change yours too.
because i've never met anyone quite like her.

happy birthday best friend.
i love you.
also, this is the best picture we have with eachother.
probs lets change that or something.

on this night of a thousand stars

today is my best firends birthday.

i know i say that about a lot of people, but she really is. 

she's so awesome that everyone around her just gets more awesome being around her.

she helps me with my math homework, 

she watches bones with me even though it makes her a little bit grossed out,

she makes me laugh when i'm in a bad mood,

she helps me sound smarter,

she makes me better,

she lets me be myself,

she laughs at the same things i do,

she's the most spiritual person i know,

she's beautiful, 

and she's my very very best friend in the whole world. 

and she always will be.

 and when i see chapters in my book that say her birthday, i have to take a picture, because i know she'll like that.

she's my favorite person in the world, even when she's driving me crazy.

she's my sister. 

and i love her more every day. 

happy birthday amberly!!
